Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Mustafa Khan, who was the last ruler of the Sheki Khanate, a small khanate located in the Caucasus region. Despite being a small state, the Sheki Khanate was known for its rich culture and art, and this coin is a testament to that, featuring intricate designs and calligraphy. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the wealth and prosperity of the khanate at the time.
