Fals - al-Manṣūr ʿAlī II Dimashq mint

正面描述	Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in naskh script, arranged horizontally within a plain circular border. The legend reads 'Al-Sultan al-Malik al-Mansur Ali', presenting the full royal titulature of the Mamluk sultan Ali II. The lettering is boldly struck in raised relief, typical of Mamluk hammered copper coinage, though the flan is irregular and somewhat roughly finished. The field surface shows characteristic granular texture consistent with cast copper preparation. Strike is moderately centered with some weakness toward the periphery.

附加信息	Al-Manṣūr ʿAlī II ruled for less than a year — deposed in 1381 after a reign measured in months, not years — making any copper fals from his Damascus mint a product of extreme political instability. The Mamluk fals was largely ignored by contemporary chroniclers, who fixated on gold and silver, yet these copper pieces absorbed the daily commerce of the bazaars. Balog's tight grouping of this type under 501–502 reflects genuine die consistency rather than abundance; surviving examples are scarce precisely because copper coinage of short reigns circulated hard and was rarely preserved.
