| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend disposed across the field in characteristic Ottoman script. The inscription, reading 'Falus (coin) minted in Aleppo 927,' is arranged in two or three horizontal registers occupying the full face of the coin. The die-struck lettering displays the bold, angular strokes typical of early sixteenth-century Ottoman epigraphy. The irregular flan edge and slightly off-center strike are consistent with hammered production of the period. No figurative motifs are present; the design is entirely epigraphic. |

Mangir were the Ottoman Empire's workhorse small change, struck in copper at provincial mints to handle transactions too minor for silver akçe. The Aleppo mint — known in Arabic as Halab — came under firm Ottoman control only in 1516 following Selim I's decisive defeat of the Mamluk Sultanate at Marj Dabiq, making this 1521 piece an early product of the newly absorbed Syrian provincial administration.
KM# 10.1 distinguishes the Aleppo fabric from superficially similar mangir of other mints primarily through mint name placement and flan characteristics — provincial copper dies were cut locally, producing measurable variation between mint cities.
