Comment
Ya saheb oz-zaman obverse, possibly with the evocation ya karim above the reverse, bold strike, full mint & dateInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Haji Chalabi Khan, who was the ruler of the Sheki Khanate, a small khanate located in the Caucasus region, which is now part of modern-day Azerbaijan. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Abbasi - Haji Chalabi Khan 1209" indicating the name of the ruler and the year of minting. The use of Persian script on the coin highlights the cultural and linguistic influence of Persia in the region at that time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 1.88g suggests that it was a significant coin in terms of value and circulation.
