Comment
Hammered coinage.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Akce - Mehmed IV Giray 1064 (1654-1666) 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 fusion of Islamic and Mongolian elements reflects the complex cultural and political landscape of the Khanate of Crimea during the 17th century.
