Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of 'Ali b. 'Ala al-Din, who was the ruler of the Beylik of Karaman, a Turkish principality in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), in the early 15th century. Despite being a small regional power, the Beylik of Karaman was known for its rich culture and art, and this coin is a testament to that, with its intricate designs and craftsmanship.
