| Additional information |
Al-Ashraf Sha'ban II came to the throne as a child of roughly seven years old in 1363, with real power held by competing amirs until he was old enough to assert himself — which he did, executing several of his regents once he reached maturity. The Hamah mint had been absorbed into the Mamluk administrative system following the sultanate's annexation of the Hamdanid-era city decades earlier, and copper fals from provincial mints of this reign circulated in local markets largely invisible to the treasury records that tracked gold and silver.
