Comment
1. Beshliks (Mahmudis) and Nimbeshliks (Shahis) were often struck by Onluk (Abbasi) dies.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian imagery, reflecting the cultural influences of the Kingdom of Kartli during the 18th century. The coin's design includes Arabic script and a depiction of the Shahi throne, which was a symbol of the Persian Empire, alongside a Christian cross and the Georgian royal coat of arms. This blending of religious and cultural symbols highlights the diverse cultural heritage of the region and the complex history of the Kingdom of Kartli during this time period.
