Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Akce - Mehmed III Giray 1032 (1623) 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 bears the inscription "La ilaha illallah" (There is no god but Allah) in Arabic, indicating the Islamic faith of the ruling dynasty. At the same time, the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a Mongolian tamga, which was a symbol used by the Mongol Empire to mark its territories and officials. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Khanate of Crimea, which was a Turkic state that was established in the 15th century and was later absorbed into the Russian Empire.
