| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bears a Tatar tamga (dynastic emblem) with a single dot enclosed within a circle, serving as the primary device. Surrounding the tamga, within the field and border area, is a degenerate Arabic legend that has become largely illegible through stylistic degradation, nominally referencing Khan Ulugh Muhammad. The overall composition reflects the bilingual, bicultural monetary tradition of Genoese Caffa, which struck coinage acceptable to both its Genoese administrators and its Tatar overlords. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Caffa, the Genoese trading entrepôt on the Crimean coast, operated under a carefully managed fiction of Tatar suzerainty throughout much of the fifteenth century. These aspres name Ulugh Muhammad Khan — the Jochid ruler who consolidated power over the western steppe in the early 1420s — while the issuing authority remained the commune of Caffa under its own administration. The Genoese had long understood that placing a khan's name on their coinage was the price of doing business on the Black Sea.
Philip Maria Visconti, Duke of Milan, held nominal authority over Caffa through Genoese political arrangements of the period. His name appearing alongside a Tatar khan's on a Crimean silver piece captures the layered sovereignty of the colony precisely.
