Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Kazbek - temp. before Jafer Quli Khan (Shamshir Type) ND (1747-1806) from Sheki Khanate (Caucasian Khanates) made of Copper weighing 11 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Caucasian design elements. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and a depiction of a lion, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a horse and rider, which is a common motif in Caucasian art. This blending of styles reflects the cultural diversity of the Sheki Khanate, which was a Turkic khanate that existed in the 18th century in the Caucasus region.
