Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political instability 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 1181-1186 (1766-1773). Despite the political instability, the coin was made of silver and weighed 3.74 grams, indicating that it was still a valuable and important form of currency during that time.
