Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of King David VI on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears an image of the Qoronikon, a mythical creature that is said to have the body of a lion and the head of an eagle. This unique design reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the Kingdom of Georgia during the 13th century.
