0.87 g   16.7-17.7 mm   1:00 o'clock   F Arabic inscription in four lines; border of dots. Arabic inscription in four lines, year AH 117[2] in fourth line; border of dots. "This is a silver Para, from the first reign of Qrim Giray b. Dawlat Giray II (AH 1172-1178/ 1758-1764AD). It was struck at the Baghcha Saray mint, virtually the only mint used by the later Giray Khans, and is dated AH 117(2), the accession year. Both Qrim’s and Dawlat’s name are almost entirely visible on the obverse. About half of the mint name is clear, and, although they are not visible on my photo, the digits 117 of the date are readable." [seller] Album 2103; Retowski 1/27
