Interesting fact
The Akce - Saadet Giray 929 (1523) coin from the Khanate of Crimea is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in coinage during the medieval period. Billon is a mixture of silver and copper, and it was used to create coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than coins made of pure silver. The use of Billon in coinage was a common practice in many parts of the world, including Europe and Asia, during the medieval period.
