Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mengli I Giray, who was the first Khan of the Crimean Khanate, a state that existed from the 15th to the 18th century in the territory of modern-day Crimea. The Khanate was known for its powerful navy and its influence in the region, and this coin is a testament to the economic and cultural achievements of that era.
