Minting Adlî Gold during the reign of Mahmud II

The adlî goldwhich was milted during the Mahmud II era and between the years 1822-1827 has been examined in this study. The adlî gold was used as a financial tool to solve economic and fiscal issues. It was minted in the number of 44.835.728 in the royal mint in five and a half years. This adli gold was equal to 111.277.776,5 Turkish piastre (kurus). The revenue acquired from adli gold became a contribution tocountervailing military expenditure. Although there are many citations to the adulteration of silver coins in the academic literature, less contribution has been made to the gold coins particularly its conversion to a financial tool. This has been conscientiously mentioned in the dissertation. Acquired results have been supported with tables and graphics.
