Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Selim I Giray 1095 Para coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Eastern European design elements. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Selim I Giray" in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a horseman, which was a common motif in Crimean Tatar art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse history and cultural exchange that occurred in the Khanate of Crimea during the 17th century.
