Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Akce - Mehmed II Giray 985 (1577) coin from the Khanate of Crimea 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 declaration of faith, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Khanate of Crimea, which was a Turkic state that existed from the 15th to the 18th century and was influenced by both Islam and the Mongol Empire.
