Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mustafa Khan, who was a prominent leader of the Shirvan Khanate, a khanate that existed in the Caucasus region during the 18th and 19th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the region at that time.
