Comment
Hammered coinage.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Bahadur Giray, who was the first Khan of the Crimean Khanate to convert to Islam. This conversion had a significant impact on the coinage of the region, as it led to the introduction of Islamic motifs and inscriptions on the coins. The Akce coin, which was minted in 1046 (1637-1641), features a unique blend of Islamic and traditional Turkic elements, reflecting the cultural and religious changes that were taking place in the region during this time.
