Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Shirvan Khanate, which was a khanate located in the Caucasus region. The coin was minted during the reign of Anonymous (Shirvan; Shamakhi) who ruled from 1208-1212 (1794-1798). This period saw a lot of political instability and power struggles within the khanate, which eventually led to its downfall. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship of the time.
