One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Fariburz III and Akhsitan III, who were concurrently ruling the Shirvanshah dynasty in Islamic Caucasia. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a period of joint rule, and its existence provides valuable insight into the political and economic history of the region during that time.
