| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crudely struck hammered copper flan bearing the ruler's name inscription in Arabic script within the field. The legend reads 'Mehmed son of Murad' (محمد بن مراد), disposed across the coin's surface in characteristic Ottoman hammered style. The lettering is rough and irregular in execution, typical of low-denomination provincial coinage of the period. The field is flat and unadorned, with no additional decorative elements or border. Strike quality is typical of contemporary mangir issues, exhibiting uneven metal flow and surface irregularities. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hammered field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription stating the mint and pious formula. The legend reads 'May [God] perpetuate his reign. Struck in Edirne' (خلد ملكه ضرب ادرنه), arranged in two or three lines across the flan. The inscription follows the standard Ottoman mangir reverse format, combining a religious invocation with the mint name. Lettering is rough and somewhat compressed due to the small flan size, with characteristic uneven strike pressure. No additional decorative motifs or border ornaments are present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mehmed II's second reign began in 1451 and culminated with the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 — an event that reconfigured Ottoman monetary administration almost immediately. Edirne had served as the imperial capital before the fall, and its mint continued striking copper manghirs into the early post-conquest years as the empire reorganized its minting infrastructure around the new capital.
The manghir was the lowest denomination in everyday Ottoman commerce, used for transactions too small for silver akçe. Edirne mint output from this period is catalogued sparsely, and attribution between the two reigns of Mehmed II requires careful attention to die characteristics rather than surface detail alone.
