Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Fath 'Ali Khan, who was the ruler of the Shirvan Khanate, a khanate that was established in the 16th century in the Caucasus region. The coin features the name of the ruler, Fath 'Ali Khan, without the title "ya karim," which means "the generous" in Arabic. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time when the ruler was still young and had not yet earned the title. Additionally, the fact that the coin is made of silver suggests that it was a valuable and widely used currency during that time.
