Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Musa Bey, who was a powerful ruler of the Beylik of Menteshe, a Turkish principality that existed in the 14th century in Anatolia, modern-day Turkey. Musa Bey was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to expand the territory of his beylik, and this coin was likely used as a means of facilitating trade and commerce within his domain.
