Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sheki Khanate, which was a short-lived khanate that was established in the Caucasus region in the early 19th century. Despite its brief existence, the Sheki Khanate was known for its rich cultural and artistic heritage, and this coin is a testament to that legacy. The coin's design features intricate patterns and calligraphy that reflect the region's Islamic traditions and artistic styles. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a valuable and important coin during its time.
