| Additional information |
The Saruhan beylik emerged from the fragmentation of Seljuk authority in western Anatolia, controlling the region around Manisa following the Mongol-induced collapse of centralized power. These anonymous copper pieces — attributable to the dynasty only by style and provenance, with no ruling name struck — reflect the deliberately decentralized nature of beylik monetary administration, where local copper coinage filled gaps left by the retreat of Ilkhanid silver.
The near-century window of 1313–1412 ends with Saruhan's absorption into the Ottoman state under Mehmed I, after a brief restoration following Timur's defeat of Bayezid I at Ankara in 1402 temporarily returned the beylik to independence.
