The Hulakis, Jalaris, Teymuris, their successors that ruled in different periods, minted coins in the Astara monetary. Coins of Amir Teymur's period and next period with legend "Zarbe Astara" are the coins, minted in Astara. This was proved in the works of European scientists. 16 pattern of these coins preserved in the Historical Institute, the Tajikistan National Academy of Sciences at present. </p><p>As of 1747 Astara was the capital of Talish district.

The traveler pointed out in his notes that Astara was located on the shore of the Caspian Sea. There were very large grapevines. Strabon also wrote this fact in his book. According to Strabon, one small <a href="/wiki/Grapevine" class="mw-redirect" title="Grapevine">grapevine</a> yielded a basket of harvest in the places, named Hikaniya at that time.
