Ottoman Egypt Misr AE Mangir Rare Rosette Variety Undated Genuine

Authentic Ottoman Coin – Guaranteed Genuine

Ottoman Empire
Region/Mint: Egypt (Misr)
Denomination: Mangir (AE copper)
Date: Undated (circa 16th–18th century)
Diameter: 18mm

Obverse:
Fragmentary Arabic inscription from the Misr mint issue series, off-center strike typical for small-flan copper mangirs.

Reverse:
Bold rosette / floral device with multiple petals arranged radially, struck from a distinctive die variety.

Description:
Ottoman Egyptian copper mangir from Misr featuring an unusually bold rosette reverse. Ottoman Egypt produced large volumes of locally engraved copper for everyday circulation, and many varieties exist with minor symbols, punches, and rosette devices that differ from standard cataloged types. This specific rosette style is not commonly illustrated in online sales records and appears to represent a scarcer, less-traced variety within the Misr mangir series.

Collectors of Ottoman provincial copper and Egyptian Islamic coinage prize these “variety” mangirs for their distinctive symbols, crude local style, and the difficulty of finding exact die matches.

Authenticity:
Correct Ottoman Egyptian copper fabric and provincial engraving style with natural aged patina. No signs of modern tooling or casting. Guaranteed authentic.

Condition:
Circulated example with dark patina. Rosette device strong and clear; legends partially visible as struck.
