Nor his reign period, neither any coin minted during his reign is known. His name is known via epigraphic evidence.[1] Epitaph on Round tower of Mardakan refers to Shirvanshah Gushtasb I as "Gershasb b. Farrukhzad b. Manuchehr" with date of Hijri, Dhu al-Hijjah 600 (August, 1204). Epitaph on Pir Hussayn Khanqah mentions his name also as grandfather of Shirvanshah Fariburz III. Also, an epitaph on Pir Mardakan Khanqah mentions his name as "Greatest padishah, khagan, Farrukhzad b. Fazilalmuwahhid Manuchehr".[2] He probably died in the same year because of old age.
