Interesting fact

The Beshlik - Shahin Giray 1191 (1777) coin from the Khanate of Crimea is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in coinage during that time period. Billon is a combination of silver and copper, and it was used to create coins that were more durable and had a lower intrinsic value 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 18th century.
