One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during the Anatolian Beyliks era. Copper was chosen for its durability and affordability, making it an ideal choice for everyday transactions. Despite its widespread use, copper coins like the Fals were still subject to counterfeiting, which is why the Beylik of Isfendiyar implemented strict quality control measures to ensure the authenticity of their currency. This coin's weight of 1.08 grams also speaks to the precision and attention to detail that went into its production.
