| Additional information |
Al-Nasir Hasan ruled twice — deposed in 1351, restored in 1354, then murdered in 1361 by his own amir Yalbugha al-Umari, who had grown more powerful than the sultan himself. The Amida mint, located in southeastern Anatolia in what is now Diyarbakır, operated under Mamluk control during periods of contested influence with rival Turkmen powers in the region. That a Mamluk sultanic issue was struck this far north speaks to the administrative reach Cairo still claimed, however tenuously, during Hasan's second reign.
