| Additional information |
The Beylik of Hamid occupied the southwestern Anatolian region of Pisidia following the fragmentation of Seljuk authority in the late thirteenth century. Its rulers briefly controlled the important town of Eğirdir and several Mediterranean coastal access points, giving the beylik commercial weight beyond its modest size. Coinage from this period reflects the scramble among Anatolian beyliks to assert independent monetary authority as Mongol Ilkhanid suzerainty over the region weakened.
Surviving akçes from Hamid are scarce relative to contemporaries like Germiyan or Karaman, likely a function of the beylik's absorption into the Ottoman state by the 1390s and its comparatively brief independent minting window.
