| Beschrijving keerzijde | Irregular hammered copper reverse bearing the mint name in Arabic script occupying the central field. The single word 'دمشق' (Damascus) is rendered in a bold, somewhat informal calligraphic hand typical of early Ottoman provincial copper issues. The legends fill the flan without a decorative border, and the surface shows the characteristic irregularity of hand-struck provincial coinage. The overall design is plain and functional, consistent with the mangir denomination's utilitarian role in local commerce. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Selim I took Damascus in 1516 following his decisive victory over the Mamluk Sultanate at Marj Dabiq, and the subsequent establishment of Ottoman mints in former Mamluk cities was as much a political act as an administrative one. Damascus had been a major mint city under the Mamluks for over two centuries; striking copper coinage there under Selim's name within months of conquest was a direct assertion of legitimacy over the Arab heartland. The mangir is among the earliest physical evidence of Ottoman monetary authority in Syria.
