1687 Ottoman Empire Suleyman II AH1099 Mangir NGC Certified Caliphate Coin

Description:
Offered is an Ottoman Empire Mangır (Mangir) issued under Sultan Süleyman II, dated AH 1099 (AD 1687) and certified NGC Genuine. Struck in copper during the height of the Ottoman Caliphate, this coin features classic Ottoman calligraphy with the Sultan’s tughra (imperial monogram) on one side and the mint/date formula on the other. These thick copper pieces circulated widely across the empire and are an important representation of late-17th-century Ottoman monetary history.

The NGC Genuine designation confirms the authenticity of this historic Caliphate coin, which may show typical surface issues, cleaning, or wear common for circulated Ottoman-era copper. Despite this, it remains an excellent collectible example from the reign of Süleyman II—a period marked by military restructuring, financial challenges, and continued cultural richness within the empire.
