| Additional information |
The Beylik of Aydın emerged from the collapse of Seljuk authority in western Anatolia, and Süleyman Beg — son of the dynasty's founder Mehmed Beg — ruled during a period when these small Aegean principalities were actively raiding the Aegean islands and the Latin-held coasts. The mangir was the workhorse denomination of Anatolian beylik copper coinage, struck for local market circulation in an economy where silver was largely absent from everyday exchange.
The Album reference U1258 carries the "U" prefix denoting an unpublished or uncertain type at the time of cataloging — a reminder of how fragmentary the documentation remains for many Anatolian beylik issues.
