Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Para - Shahin Giray 1191 (1777) from Khanate of Crimea made of Billon weighing 0.6 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Shahin Giray, the ruler of the Khanate of Crimea, while the reverse side bears a stylized depiction of a crescent moon and a star, which are common Islamic motifs. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural diversity of the Khanate of Crimea, which was a Turkic state that existed from the 15th to the 18th century and was influenced by both Islamic and European cultures.
