The Ottoman empire formed in the 1300’s and went through several centuries of expansion to the east and west. By the 1700’s Ottoman political and military power was waning, despite the large geographical extent of its possessions. By the mid-1800’s, several possessions such as [[Egypt]] and [[Tunisia]] had already sought degrees of autonomy or were occupied by European forces. The Ottoman Empire came officially to and end after World War I, paving the way for a much smaller and politically modern Republic of [[Turkey]].

This specimen was lot 226 on Dec 13, 2011 at the Kunker Auction #199 in Osnabruck, Germany, where it sold for 260 euros.

-In the 1830's, the regime attempted to implement the ''Tanzimat'' reform to modernize the government and the military, the better to resist European (particularly Russian) encroachment. One reform was the introduction of milled coinage in 1839, where all the medieval denominations were dropped for a decimal system where the crown size silver coin was twenty ''kuruş'' and the sovereign size gold coin was 100 ''kuruş''. This system survived until the collapse of the Ottoman regime after World War One.
