Comment
Hammered coinage.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Akce - İnayet Giray 1044 (1635) coin from the Khanate of Crimea is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Eastern European design elements. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Crimean Khan's tamga (seal) and the reverse side features a stylized representation of a mosque, which reflects the Islamic faith of the Crimean Tatars who ruled the Khanate. At the same time, the coin's design also incorporates elements of Eastern European coinage, such as the use of the Cyrillic alphabet and the depiction of a crowned monarch, which reflects the Khanate's connections to the neighboring Russian and Polish-Lithuanian states. This blending of cultural influences makes the Akce - İnayet Giray 1044 (1635) coin a fascinating example of cultural exchange and artistic syncretism.
