Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Altilik Altin - Shahin Giray 1191 (1777) coin from the Khanate of Crimea is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and a depiction of the Khanate's ruler, Shahin Giray, while the reverse side features a crowned eagle, a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that occurred between the Islamic world and Europe during the 18th century.
