Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Caucasian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the name of the ruler, Ibrahim II Shaykhshah, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a lion, which is a common motif in Caucasian art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the Shirvanshah dynasty, which ruled over a region that was a crossroads of different cultures and civilizations.
