Comment
Akopyan attributes this type to the short period of time between the death of the Fahr al-Din Ahdabid (Shaddadid dynasty) in 1155 and the capture of the City of Dvin by the Atabeq of Azerbaijan Eligüz in 1163.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant cultural and religious exchange between the Islamic world and the Caucasus region. The City of Dvin was an important center of trade and commerce, and the coin's design likely reflects the blending of Islamic and local artistic traditions.
