Comment
This was made for presentation purposes only.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Agha Muhammad Khan, who was the founder of the Ganja Khanate, a short-lived khanate that existed in the Caucasus region in the late 18th century. Despite its brief existence, the Ganja Khanate played an important role in the region's history, and this coin serves as a tangible reminder of that era.
