1796 drawing vs 1805 coin?

@HistoryofIran: I found a Russian-made plan of the 1804 siege which I believe is kinda ok for the infobox. Would you keep the 1796 Russian etching in the body of the article, or would you swap it with something like a 1805 coin minted in Erivan by Fath-Ali Shah?[1] Curious for your opinion. - LouisAragon (talk) 01:05, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@LouisAragon: The etching imo. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:34, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
