| Obverse description | Central field dominated by an elaborately rendered tughra of Shahin Giray Khan in bold calligraphic style, the interlaced strokes rising vertically from a broad baseline with characteristic aloft extending uprights. Flanking the tughra at mid-field are two symmetrical floral sprays with stylized leaves and blossoms, rendered in low relief. The coin is bordered by a continuous rope or cable edge pattern. The overall composition follows the Ottoman-influenced tughra tradition adapted for Crimean Khanate coinage. |
