Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Adil Giray Khan, who was the first Khan of the Crimean Khanate to convert to Islam. This event marked a significant turning point in the history of the region, as it led to the spread of Islam throughout the Crimean Peninsula and the eventual decline of Christianity as the dominant religion. The coin itself is a tangible representation of this historical event and serves as a reminder of the cultural and religious shifts that took place during this time period.
