Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a lion on the obverse (front) side, which was a common motif in Georgian coinage during the Kingdom of Kartli period. The lion was a symbol of strength, courage, and royal power, and its presence on the coin signified the authority and legitimacy of the ruling monarch.
