Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Layth b. Ilyas, who was the ruler of the Beylik of Menteshe, a small principality located in the southwestern region of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the 15th century. The coin is made of silver and weighs 0.69 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin is considered a significant artifact in the history of numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors.
