| Additional information |
The Beylik of Menteshe controlled the southwestern Aegean coastline of Anatolia — the ancient Caria — and its copper mangir issues are among the least documented of all the Anatolian beyliks. Ibrahim Bahadur Beg ruled during a period of active competition with neighboring beyliks and periodic Byzantine pressure, yet Menteshe maintained enough administrative coherence to strike identifiable coinage. Most surviving copper from this period circulated heavily in small market transactions and rarely survived intact.
The A#R1258 reference places this within Artuk Bey's corpus, one of the few systematic attempts to catalog beylik copper.
