Comments

Unlike the other coins of Ganja, this type is based on a completely new standard: the Geogrian sirma-abazi standard. Within Ganja, it was only used in year 1205 (1791).

These are known as the "Georgian types" because, after Georgia gained control of the Ganja Khanate, the style of the coins changed dramatically.

This type omits the name of Karim Khan Zand (1751-1779).
