Beschrijving voorzijde Central field occupied by a large, densely rendered floral or vegetal motif in the Zand decorative tradition, executed in flowing nasta'liq-influenced calligraphic strokes. The design features a prominent curved arabesque element rising from a stylised floral base with pellet ornaments at the lower border. The hammered flan is irregular in outline, with the relief design struck with characteristic hand-die pressure, producing uneven but bold relief. The overall composition reflects the artistic conventions of late 18th- to early 19th-century Persian-influenced coinage of the Caucasian khanates.

Beschrijving keerzijde Central field divided by a bold diagonal band bearing Arabic inscriptions in nasta'liq script, referencing the ruling khan and mint or regnal details. A circular border of pellets frames an inner cartouche containing multi-line Arabic legends in two registers separated by the diagonal device. Additional marginal legends in Arabic script run along the outer border, partially visible due to the irregular flan edge. The overall layout follows the standard format of Caucasian khanate abbasi coinage of the early 19th century, with dot-rosette ornaments punctuating the border at intervals.

Aanvullende informatie

The Sheki Khanate, based in what is now northwestern Azerbaijan, was a persistent political anomaly in the early nineteenth century — nominally subordinate to Qajar Iran yet increasingly within Russian orbit following Tsarist expansion into the Caucasus. Mustafa Khan of Sheki signed the Treaty of Kurekchay in May 1805, the same year this coin was struck, formally accepting Russian suzerainty. Coinage continued under his name regardless, a common arrangement Russia permitted to ease transitional administration in newly absorbed khanates.
