| Additional information |
Tire, a town in the Aegean hinterland near Ephesus, operated as a regional Ottoman mint during Mehmed II's long second reign — the same reign that saw the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 and the subsequent reshaping of imperial administration across Anatolia. Provincial copper coinage like this manghir was essential to small-scale commerce; silver akçe were too valuable for daily transactions at the market level.
KM# 105.1 distinguishes the Tire mint attribution from otherwise nearly identical manghir types of the same reign.
