Selim III Giray's first reign over the Crimean Khanate was a politically turbulent stretch, with the khan navigating competing pressures from both the Ottoman Porte — who held ultimate authority over his appointment — and an increasingly aggressive Russian Empire pushing into the steppe. The akçe by this period had shed most of its commercial relevance, supplanted in daily trade by larger Ottoman issues, yet continued to be struck as a matter of dynastic prerogative.
KM#107–110 catalogues several die variants from this reign, reflecting inconsistent production across what were likely multiple striking episodes rather than a single coordinated mint run.
