| Reverse description | Irregular hammered flan with a multi-line Arabic legend distributed across the field, reading 'Struck in / Qirim / 1137' (AH), recording the mint name and Hijri date corresponding to 1725 CE. A tamgha, the dynastic tribal emblem of the Giray dynasty, appears prominently in the upper portion of the field, serving as the principal heraldic device. The tamgha is rendered in a stylized form characteristic of Crimean Khanate issues. The overall strike is typical of provincial hammered coinage, with uneven distribution of metal across the flan. The absence of a border or decorative rim is consistent with contemporary Crimean minting practice. |
