Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mehmed I, who was the first Ottoman Sultan to issue coins in his own name, rather than in the name of the previous Sultan. This coin, bearing the name of Sar Khan ibn Ishaq, was likely issued as a way for Mehmed I to assert his authority and establish his own minting system, which would become a hallmark of the Ottoman Empire's economic and political power for centuries to come.
