Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Akce - Hajji Geray (Qrim) 858 (1454) from Khanate of Crimea made of Silver weighing 0.54 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Khan's head, while the reverse side bears the Islamic inscription "La ilaha illallah" (There is no god but Allah) and the Mongolian emblem of a crescent moon and star. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Khanate of Crimea, which was a Mongolian khanate that later adopted Islam as its official religion.
