| Additional information |
The Juma-Jami Mosque in Yevpatoria, Crimea, was commissioned by Devlet I Giray, Khan of the Crimean Khanate, and completed around 1564 — designed, according to tradition, by Mimar Sinan, the Ottoman imperial architect responsible for the Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul. Whether Sinan personally oversaw the Yevpatoria project remains debated, but the structural similarities are difficult to dismiss. The mosque survived Soviet-era suppression of Islamic worship and was returned to the Muslim community following Ukrainian independence.
This issue was struck the year after Russia's annexation of Crimea brought the site under Russian federal jurisdiction — a timing that was not accidental.
