Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Akçe - Ibrahim 846 (1443) coin from the Beylik of Karaman is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Anatolian design elements. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Islamic crescent moon and star, while the reverse side features a depiction of a mythical creature known as the "Karamanid Lion," which is a symbol of the Beylik of Karaman. This blending of Islamic and Anatolian motifs reflects the cultural diversity of the region and the influence of various artistic traditions on the coin's design.
