Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Muhammad Ghazi b. Farukhsiyar, who was the ruler of the Shirvanshah dynasty in Islamic Caucasia during the early 16th century. The coin features the name of the ruler and the date of issue in both Persian and Arabic scripts, reflecting the cultural and linguistic diversity of the region at that time. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight suggest that it was intended for everyday use in local transactions, providing a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of the Shirvanshah dynasty.
