Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ali bin Yazid, who was the last ruler of the Shirvanshah dynasty, and it features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Ali bin Yazid, the Sultan, the Just, the Rightly Guided" on one side, and the other side features an image of a lion attacking a bull, which symbolizes the struggle between good and evil.
