Fals - al-Nāṣir Muhammad I Dimashq Mint

Al-Nāṣir Muhammad ibn Qalāwun ruled three separate times — deposed twice, restored twice — making his third reign (1310–1341) one of the longest and most politically consequential of any Mamluk sultan. The Damascus mint was active throughout, supplying copper fals for local market transactions at a moment when the sultanate's silver dirham coinage had badly degraded in fineness, pushing everyday commerce increasingly onto the copper fraction.

Balog's corpus remains the foundational reference for Mamluk copper, and the Bal II#244 attribution places this piece within a well-documented Damascus sequence from the middle portion of that third reign.
