| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bearing the name and titles of Khan Qirim Giray rendered in Arabic script, arranged in a multi-line calligraphic composition typical of Crimean Khanate hammered coinage. The legend occupies the majority of the flan, with individual words disposed across the field in the characteristic tughra-influenced style of the period. The irregular flan edge and overall fabric are consistent with hand-struck billon production of the late 18th-century Crimean mint. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field dominated by the dynastic tamgha of the Giray dynasty, positioned above the mint name and the AH regnal date 1182 (AD 1769). The tamgha, a traditional Tatar heraldic symbol, is boldly struck in relief and serves as the primary device, with the mint and date legend disposed below in Arabic script. The overall layout follows the standard typology for Crimean Khanate billon beshlik coinage of this reign, with the inscription filling the available field on the irregular hammered flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Qirim Giray was khan twice — his second reign, during which this beshlik was struck, coincided directly with the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774. Russian forces had already penetrated deep into Crimean territory by 1769, and the khanate's minting activity that year carried an urgency born of political survival. Billon issues of this period are frequently found debased beyond their nominal standard, a reflection of a treasury under genuine military strain.
The khanate would survive only another decade. Catherine II formally annexed Crimea in 1783, ending over three centuries of Giray dynasty coinage.
