Abu Sa'id Bahadur Khan's dirham types were so commercially dominant across Anatolia in the early fourteenth century that local beyliks — too small or too recently established to command monetary credibility on their own — simply copied them. The imitation circulated on borrowed authority, the original issuer's prestige doing the work the local ruler's name could not yet do.
Album's B2221 designation flags this as an unofficial production, but the line between sanctioned regional striking and outright imitation was genuinely blurry in this period.
