| Reverse description | Reverse of this hammered silver akce struck at the Caffa mint, displaying a three-line Arabic legend in the field giving the mint name and AH regnal year, with a Giray dynastic tamgha symbol below or within the inscription. The legends are arranged horizontally across the flan, typical of Crimean Khanate akce coinage of this period. The strike is off-center on the irregular flan, leaving portions of the legend weak or partially visible at the edges. The tamgha serves as the dynastic emblem of the Giray ruling house and is a characteristic device on Crimean coinage. The reverse field surface shows the natural granular texture of a hammered silver planchet. |
