| Additional information |
Al-Mansur Muhammad II reigned barely two years before being deposed by the amir Yalbugha al-Khassaki in 1363 — one of several boy sultans manipulated and discarded by the dominant military faction during this particularly unstable stretch of Mamluk rule. Copper fals issues from Cairo under his name are consequently confined to a narrow window of production.
The Bal II references 385 through 387 indicate at least three die varieties attributed to this reign, suggesting the Qahira mint maintained output despite the political turbulence overhead.
