Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of 'Ali ibn Musa al-Lashkari, who was a member of the Shaddadid dynasty, which was a Persianate Muslim dynasty that ruled parts of the Caucasus, including Ganja, from the 10th to the 12th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content and weight suggest that it was a widely used and valued form of currency in the region.
