| Additional information |
Akhsitan II ruled Shirvan as a vassal under increasing Mongol pressure following the Ilkhanate's consolidation of the Caucasus after 1256. The tamgha — a Mongol clan or administrative mark — stamped onto this fals is a direct imprint of that subordination, imposed on local coinage as both a fiscal control mechanism and a declaration of Ilkhanid authority over the mint.
Album's A#1914A designation places this among the rarer documented types of the series, with very few die combinations recorded.
