Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Fakhr al-Din Ahdabid, who was the founder of the Ahdabid dynasty, which was a local dynasty that ruled over the Caucasus region, including present-day Azerbaijan, Armenia, and parts of Georgia, during the 12th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-Sultanu al-Azam Fakhr al-Din Ahdabid" (The Greatest Sultan Fakhr al-Din Ahdabid), indicating the importance of the sultan and the Islamic faith in the region at that time.
