Comment
Back to fourth standard.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, who was the second Qajar king of Persia and ruled from 1797 to 1834. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Fath-Ali Shah, King of Kings, son of Hosayn-Ali Shah" and includes the date 1216 AH (1802 AD) in the Islamic calendar. The coin's design and inscription reflect the cultural and historical significance of the Ganja Khanate, which was a Turkic khanate that existed in the 18th and 19th centuries in the South Caucasus region.
