Interesting fact
The Atabegs of Arran, who issued this coin, were a dynasty of Turkish origin that ruled over a region in the Caucasus region, which is now part of modern-day Azerbaijan and Iran. Despite being a relatively small dynasty, they played a significant role in the history of the region and were known for their cultural and architectural achievements. This coin, which features the name "Chavli" (or "Chavli Madine Ardabil") on one side and the title "Atabeg" on the other, is a rare example of their coinage and provides valuable insight into their economic and political systems.
