Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Umur bin Mehmed, who was the second Bey (chieftain) of the Beylik of Menteshe, a Turkish principality that existed in the 14th century in the region of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). The coin features the name of the Beylik and the year of issue, 1402, in the Islamic calendar, which corresponds to 1402-1403 in the Gregorian calendar. Despite its small weight of 0.72 grams, the coin was made of silver, indicating the value placed on this precious metal during that time.
