Farrukh Yassar II was the brief 42nd shah of Shirvan.

Reign

Not much is known about his reign; his existence was disputed until a 1934 discovery of a hoard of 906 silver Shirvanshah coins in Salyan.[1] It was known that his son was invited by local nobility to succeed Khalilullah II. He was probably forced to flee to Dagestan, upon rebelling against his brother Khalilullah II.[2] However, another numismatic evidence shows that he somehow managed to mint coins with his name on them.[3]
