Note: During the Ottoman Empire, Mangirs were a small denomination of copper coinage used for everyday transactions within the empire. They typically featured inscriptions denoting the sultan’s name, sometimes the mint location, and the date of minting. Murad III ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1574 to 1595 and was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. Coins minted during his reign reflect the stability and prosperity of the empire during this period. The Halab Mint, located in Aleppo, was one of the significant mints of the Ottoman Empire. Coins minted here played a vital role in facilitating trade and commerce within the empire and beyond.
