Fals - Anonymous - temp. al-Nāṣir Muhammad I / al-Salih Isma'il Hamah Mint

Hamah's mint operated intermittently under Mamluk authority, and the anonymous attribution here — spanning the reigns of al-Nāṣir Muhammad I and al-Ṣāliḥ Ismāʿīl — reflects genuine uncertainty about when exactly these fals were struck. Al-Nāṣir Muhammad died in 1341 after a third reign that reshaped Mamluk provincial administration; his successor al-Ṣāliḥ Ismāʿīl held power only until 1345. Anonymous copper fals from Syrian provincial mints in this window are notoriously difficult to assign, as the central sultanate exercised loose oversight over small-denomination copper coinage.
