Comment
Issued by Ilyas bin Muhammad (or Mehmed) as independent ruler during his second reign (805-823 AH). Most specimens are either dated 805 AH or undated, and no coins have been assigned to his first reign, circa 791-792 AH. Further references: Zeno 183412; Numos type 1a.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the second reign of Ilyas bin Muhammad, who was a prominent leader of the Beylik of Menteshe, a Turkish principality that existed in the 14th century in Anatolia, modern-day Turkey.
