| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered copper flan bearing the imperial tughra of Süleyman I rendered in bold Arabic calligraphy, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The tughra, the stylised monogram of the sultan, is struck in high relief with characteristic looping superstructure above horizontal lines, typical of mid-sixteenth-century Ottoman die work. The legends are arranged around and beneath the tughra in the Naskh script, citing the mint name Haleb (Aleppo) and the regnal year 961 AH. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic hammered-coinage surface texture with natural patination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Süleyman I authorized a sweeping provincial mint reorganization in the early 1550s that brought Aleppo's copper coinage under tighter imperial oversight — part of a broader fiscal effort to suppress the fractional silver shortages plaguing Levantine trade routes. The Aleppo mint, operating as the Halep darphane, served a commercially dense node connecting Anatolian, Syrian, and Mediterranean exchange networks, making reliable small-denomination copper genuinely necessary rather than merely supplementary.
Manghir production at provincial mints was notoriously inconsistent in this period, with weight and flan quality varying considerably between striking sessions.
