Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Farukhsiyar II, who was the last ruler of the Shirvanshah dynasty, and it features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-Sultanu al-Azam Farukhsiyar bin Shaikh Ibrahim" (meaning "The Greatest King, Farukhsiyar, son of Shaikh Ibrahim"). This inscription indicates that the coin was minted during a time of great cultural and religious significance for the region, as the Shirvanshahs were known for their patronage of the arts and their adherence to Islam. Additionally, the fact that the coin is made of silver and weighs 0.68 grams suggests that it was a widely used and valued form of currency during this time period.
