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 16th and 17th centuries. The lion was seen as a symbol of strength, courage, and power, and its presence on the coin was meant to convey the power and authority of the Kingdom of Kartli.
