One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic change in the region now known as Turkey. The Beylik of Isfendiyar was one of many small principalities that emerged in Anatolia after the collapse of the Seljuk Empire, and the use of coins like this Fals helped to facilitate trade and commerce within and beyond the region. Despite being made of copper, which was a relatively common metal at the time, the coin still holds significant historical value and interest for collectors and historians today.
