1 Manghir - Suleyman I

Suleiman I's copper manghir occupied the lowest rung of the Ottoman monetary hierarchy, a denomination so humble that it rarely merited mention in imperial financial records yet remained the primary coin of everyday market transactions for the urban poor and rural peasantry. By 1545, the Ottoman mint system was operating under strict imperial regulation established through Suleiman's own kanunname reforms, which standardized weights and fineness across provincial mints in an attempt to curb the chronic debasement that had plagued his predecessors.
