Interesting fact

The Sajid dynasty, which issued this coin, was a short-lived but significant dynasty that ruled over parts of the Caucasus region, including present-day Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia, during the 9th and 10th centuries. The Sajids were known for their military campaigns against neighboring regions and their patronage of the arts, and their coins, like this one, reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time.
