| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by the imperial tughra of Sultan Ahmed III, rendered in the characteristic Ottoman calligraphic style with interlaced oval loops (beyze), upward-projecting shafts (tuğ), and rightward-extending arms (zülfe). The tughra is executed in bold relief against a flat copper field. A beaded or denticulated border runs along the coin's periphery. The design displays the typical characteristics of hammered Ottoman copper coinage, with slight irregularity of flan. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field bears a multi-line Arabic legend in square Kufic-influenced script, arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's face. The inscription records the mint name and the regnal year of Sultan Ahmed III in the Islamic Hijri calendar. The lettering is boldly struck in relief, though with some flatness typical of hammered copper issues. A beaded border frames the periphery of the irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ahmed III came to power in 1703 following the Edirne Event, a janissary revolt that deposed his brother Mustafa II. The mangir was the lowest denomination in Ottoman coinage, struck in copper and largely ignored by official monetary policy — which is precisely why surviving examples in decent condition are harder to find than their original abundance might suggest. Heavy circulation and copper's susceptibility to corrosion account for most losses.
