The Dawlat I Giray ND (1550-1577) coin from the Khanate of Crimea is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a combination of silver and other metals, such as copper or tin, and it was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The fact that this coin was made of Billon suggests that the Khanate of Crimea was able to produce coins that were both aesthetically pleasing and practical for everyday use. Additionally, the fact that the coin weighs 0.40 g suggests that it was a relatively small coin, which may have made it easier to handle and transport.
