| Beschrijving keerzijde | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing a two-line Arabic mint and formula legend in the field. The inscription records the mint name Hamah (حماة) together with the word 'ضرب' (struck/minted), indicating the place of issue. The lettering is crudely executed and partially obscured by green corrosion and surface wear, characteristic of heavily circulated provincial Mamluk copper coinage. The flan edges are ragged and uneven, consistent with hand-cut planchets typical of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Barquq was the first Burji (Circassian) sultan of the Mamluks, seizing power in 1382 and briefly losing it in 1389 before retaking Cairo the following year — placing this Hamah issue squarely within his restored reign. The Burji succession broke sharply from the Bahri dynasty that preceded it, and Barquq's mints were active across Syria and Egypt as he worked to consolidate legitimacy through administrative and monetary presence.
Hamah, a provincial Syrian mint, struck relatively few copper fals under Barquq, making Bal II#597 a scarcer provincial type than its Cairo contemporaries.
