Rare.Following the collapse of the Seljuqs of Rum in the early 14th century, a collection of Turkish beyliks, or small principalities, took over the regions comprising ancient Ionia, Caria, and Lydia. Many of them established friendly trading relationships with the Crusader successor states in the Aegean, and made use of copies of the Italian gigliati in their commerce. Eventually the gigliato was replaced by the Turkish akçe, as the beyliks were soon to be absorbed by the most powerful of their number, the Ottomans.
