Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Alp-Qutluk, who was a powerful Atabeg (governor) of Arran (present-day Azerbaijan) during the Seljuq dynasty. He was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, and his coinage reflects the cultural and economic influences of the time. The coin's design, which features Arabic script and a stylized floral motif, is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Seljuq Empire.
