Akçe - al-Ṣāliḥ Ṣāliḥ I

Al-Ṣāliḥ Ṣāliḥ ruled Mardin during one of the most punishing decades in Anatolian history — the Black Death reached the region around 1347–48, decimating populations across the Jazira and disrupting the tributary networks the Artuqids depended on. That this coinage was struck at all during that specific year is worth noting. The Artuqid dynasty had already spent generations navigating between Mongol overlords and Egyptian Mamluk pressure, and by mid-century their autonomy was threadbare.
