Mangır - Süleyman I

Suleiman I's copper mangır occupied the absolute bottom of the Ottoman monetary hierarchy, used for the smallest daily transactions in bazaars and markets where silver akçe were too valuable to break. The type is poorly documented in Western references precisely because it circulated hard among the lowest economic strata — literary sources from the period mention it almost exclusively in complaints about short-weight pieces and counterfeits flooding provincial markets.

Zeno #2165 is one of relatively few attributed examples, copper survivorship being what it is.
