Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in the Shirvani script, which was a unique writing system used in the Shirvan region of Azerbaijan during the Islamic era. The inscription on the coin includes the name of the ruler, Shahrukh, and the date of minting, which helps historians and numismatists to date the coin accurately.
