Al-Nāṣir Muhammad ibn Qalawun ruled three separate times — deposed twice, restored twice — making his third reign (1310–1341) one of the longest and most politically assertive in Mamluk history. The Damascus mint was administratively distinct from Cairo during this period, operating under its own supervisory officials, and fals issues from Syrian mints were struck primarily for local bazaar transactions rather than interregional trade. Copper coinage of this reign is notoriously variable in module and weight, reflecting decentralized production rather than any single controlled standard.
