| Reverse description | The dynastic tamgha of Batu Khan, the imperial seal of the House of Batu, prominently placed in the centre of the field and enclosed within a dotted inner circle. A circular Arabic legend surrounds the central device, giving the mint name and date. The mint name Qrim (Crimea) and the Hijri date 694 appear below the tamgha. The overall layout follows the standard Golden Horde reverse type with the tamgha as the primary heraldic device. |

| Additional information |
Toqta's accession as Khan in 1291 came only after defeating his great-uncle Nogai, whose faction had effectively controlled the western Horde for decades. The Qrim mint's activity under Toqta reflects the reassertion of centralized Jochid authority — coins from this mint in this reign are direct artifacts of that political consolidation, not administrative routine.
Sagdeeva #162 places this type within a tight chronological window tied to Toqta's early coinage reforms.
