Manghir - Selim I

Selim I's reign (1512–1520) saw the Ottoman state absorb the Mamluk Sultanate and gain control of the Hijaz, a political transformation that forced the mint administration to rapidly expand copper fiduciary coinage for use in newly incorporated territories. The manghir was the workhorse of small transactions — bazaar change, market fees, porter wages — in a monetary system where silver and gold dominated official accounting but rarely touched ordinary hands.

KM#310 is attributed across multiple mint cities, and examples vary considerably in fabric and strike quality depending on origin. Provincial copper was frequently restruck or countermarked locally.
