Mangir Pubblico Deposited
A copper coin of the Ottoman Empire, introduced bv Murad I (A.H. 761-792). It ranged apparently at first from eight to sixteen to the Akcheh. and eventually became of equal value with it.
The Mangur, as it is sometimes called, finally became the fourth part of the Asper or the four hundred and eightieth of a Piastre. It was introduced in Egypt under Solei- man I (A. II. 926-974). See Fonrobert, Die Jules Fonrobert'sche Sammlung uberseeischer Munzen. 1878. (5006).
