GIRAY KHANS: Shahin Giray, 1777-1783, AE kyrmis (64.06g), Baghcha-Saray, AH1191 year 5, A-2118, Ret-199, Sariev-539, 3rd series, nice strike on a planchet with some minor casting flaws, lovely VF-EF, R, ex Dick Nauta Collection. Based on his research, Sariev concluded that even though the engraved mint name is Baghcha-Saray, the 3rd series kyrmis was actually struck at Kaffa, along with the monstrous Ischal which is inscribed "Kaffa."
