FROM THE HISTORY OF ARMENIAN COINS: KARABAKH KHANATE MINTAGE
When the Persian power weakened, half-independent khanates of Karabakh,
Shirvan, Sheki, Ganja and others were established.
In 996 by Muslim calendar (1588 AD), Karabakh and the surrounding
territories belonging to Ottomans fell under the sway of Persian
rulers. In the second half of the 18th century the Persian power
weakened and half-independent khanates of Karabakh, Shirvan, Sheki,
Ganja and others were established. Panah Ali Khan conquered the
fortress of Shosh village and declared himself the Khan of Karabakh.
