One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals - Akhsitan II ND (1243-1260) from Shirvanshah dynasty (Islamic Caucasia) made of Copper is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Caucasian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and imagery typical of Islamic coins, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a mythical creature, possibly a dragon or griffin, which is a common motif in Caucasian art. This blending of styles reflects the cultural diversity of the Shirvanshah dynasty, which ruled over a region that was a crossroads of different cultures and religions.
