Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ - David VI (Tiflis) 645 (1248) from Georgia, is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the reign of King David VI of Georgia, who ruled from 1230 to 1248. It's interesting to note that this coin was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. Additionally, the fact that it weighs 4 grams suggests that it was a relatively small coin, which was likely used for everyday transactions.
