Legend inscribed retrograde.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shaykh 'Ali Khan, who was the ruler of the Quba Khanate, a kingdom located in the Caucasus region, between 1214 and 1223. Despite being a small kingdom, the Quba Khanate was known for its rich culture and art, and this coin is a reflection of that, with its intricate designs and craftsmanship. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the wealth and prosperity of the kingdom at the time.
