Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and a depiction of the Khanate of Crimea's emblem, while the reverse side features a stylized pattern of interlocking circles and a crown, which is a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Khanate's history, as it was a Turkic state that existed within the sphere of influence of both the Ottoman Empire and European powers.
