Comment
This type is based on the fourth Persian coin standard, with 1 Abbasi equal to 6 Shahi. The second standard went from 1188 (1774) to 1199 (1785), and the weights are typically between 2.9 to 3.3 grams.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, and his rule marked a period of significant cultural and economic development in the region. The coin itself is a reflection of the economic and trade relationships that existed between the Ganja Khanate and other regions of the Caucasus during this time period.
