Akçe - Shahrukh Shamakhi Mint

Shahrukh was the last Shirvanshah to rule with any real autonomy. By the time these akçe were struck at Shamakhi, the dynasty was caught between Safavid Iran and Ottoman expansion — a corridor of pressure that would end the Shirvanshahs entirely within a generation. Shamakhi served as the political and commercial capital of Shirvan, sitting on the Silk Road routes connecting the Caspian littoral to the Caucasus interior.

The reign dates place this issue squarely in the years following the Ottoman-Safavid Treaty of Amasya's antecedents, when Shirvan briefly retained nominal independence before Safavid absorption in 1538–1539.
