| Additional information |
The Quba Khanate was one of several semi-autonomous polities that emerged in the Caucasus following the fragmentation of Safavid authority, nominally subject to Persian suzerainty but increasingly drawn into the orbit of expanding Russian imperial power. Shaykh Ali Khan ruled Quba through a period of acute political pressure — the khanate was absorbed into the Russian Empire in 1806, making any coinage struck near the end of his reign among the final independent issues from this short-lived entity.
The abbasi denomination itself derived from the Safavid monetary system, a unit named after Shah Abbas I.
