Qaplan Giray I 1st reign.Weigt varies 0.89-1.04 g.
Hammered coinage.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Qaplan I Giray, who was the first Khan of the Crimean Khanate to issue coins with his own name and title, rather than using the name of the Ottoman Sultan. This indicates that the Crimean Khanate was becoming more independent from the Ottoman Empire at this time.
