| Additional information |
Ghazi Giray II reclaimed the Crimean throne in 1588 after escaping Ottoman captivity following the disastrous Battle of Molodi in 1572, where a Crimean-led force of roughly 120,000 men was routed by a far smaller Russian army under Mikhail Vorotynsky. His second reign saw renewed assertion of dynastic authority, reflected in fresh mint activity at Gezlev — the prosperous Black Sea port known today as Yevpatoria — which served as one of the khanate's key commercial hubs rather than its political capital.
