| Additional information |
Hajji Geray founded the Crimean Khanate in the 1440s after breaking from the disintegrating Golden Horde, and his akçe coinage was among the first independent monetary issues of the new state. He spent much of his reign navigating alliances with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania against Horde remnants, occasionally dependent on Lithuanian support to hold his own throne. These late issues, struck in the final years before his death in 1466, come from a mint operating under persistent political instability — Hajji Geray's sons began contesting the succession almost immediately.
