Onlik Öffentlichkeit Deposited
A Turkish silver coin originally of the value of ten Paras, but later slightly reduced. See Rebia.
The issues for Egypt, introduced by Soleiman I (A.H. 926-974), were of copper, and of the value of ten Aspers; this was followed by a billion Onlik under Mahmud II (A.H. 1223-1255); and finally, under Abd-el-Medschid (A.H. 1255-1277), the silver coins equal to ten Paras were made.
In Tripoli the Onlik was a billion coin of the value of one fourth of a Ghrush. It does not seem to have been issued prior to the reign of Abd-el-Hamid I (A.H. 1187-1203).
