| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crudely struck hammered copper flan bearing the Arabic royal titulature of Sultan Suleiman I arranged in two lines within the field. The inscription, reading 'Sultan / Suleiman' in Arabic script, is set within a plain linear border enclosed by a beaded outer rim. The lettering is bold and characteristic of early sixteenth-century Ottoman provincial die-cutting, with irregular module and slightly uneven strike typical of Damascus mint production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Suleiman I came to the throne in 1520, the same year this piece was struck, and Damascus was by then a recently absorbed provincial mint — the Ottomans had taken Syria from the Mamluks only four years earlier at the Battle of Marj Dabiq. Copper mangir issues from newly integrated mints in this period are chronically underrepresented in collections, partly because provincial copper circulated hard and was frequently melted when debased.
Damascus mint output under early Ottoman administration remains poorly documented, which makes die-specific attribution for this type genuinely difficult.
