Interesting fact
The Beshlik - Maqsud Giray 1181 (1768) coin from the Khanate of Crimea made of Billon is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the reverse side features a crowned shield with a cross, indicating the influence of Christianity in the region. This blending of cultures is a reflection of the Khanate's strategic location between Europe and Asia, and its history as a crossroads of trade and cultural exchange.
