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 bears an inscription in Arabic, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a lion, which is a common motif in Caucasian art. This blending of cultural elements reflects the rich cultural diversity of the Shirvanshah dynasty, which ruled over a region that was home to numerous ethnic and religious groups.
