| Obverse description | Central field bearing the name and honorific titles of Khan Mengli II Giray rendered in flowing Arabic calligraphic script. The legend is arranged in multiple lines across the flan, typical of the hammered coinage of the Crimean Khanate. The irregular planchet and characteristic bold die-cutting reflect the hand-struck production technique of the period. Lettering is raised against a flat, unadorned field with no border ornament. |
