Fulus - Anonymous Shamakhi

The Shirvan Khanate's anonymous copper fulus present persistent attribution headaches — no ruler's name, no regnal date, and mint names that were sometimes omitted entirely or rendered in forms that blur across successive issues. The Shamakhi attribution here rests on die-link evidence and fabric comparison rather than explicit legend. Shamakhi served as the khanate's principal seat until the 1806 Russian absorption of Shirvan, and copper coinage from its final autonomous decades survives in wildly uneven condition owing to the corrosive soils of the South Caucasus.
