| Additional information |
The Beylik of Menteshe occupied the southwestern Anatolian coast — ancient Caria — and operated as one of the Anatolian beyliks that filled the power vacuum left by the retreating Seljuk Sultanate of Rum. Ahmad Ghazi's long reign coincided with early Ottoman consolidation pressure from the north, yet Menteshe maintained enough independence to strike its own silver coinage throughout this period. The beylik was finally absorbed by the Ottomans under Bayezid I around 1390, making issues from Ahmad Ghazi's final years exceptionally short-lived in circulation.
