Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Muhammad Hasan Khan, who was the ruler of the Ganja Khanate at the time. He was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, which helped to strengthen the khanate and promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin itself is a reflection of the economic and cultural ties between the Ganja Khanate and other regions of the Caucasus, as well as the influence of Islamic culture on the coinage of the time.
