2 Apsars West Caucasian tur

Abkhazia's apsar coinage occupies a legally ambiguous position — the territory declared independence from Georgia in 1999, but is recognized as a sovereign state by only a handful of UN members, Russia chief among them. The Bank of Abkhazia issues these coins primarily as collector pieces rather than circulating currency, with distribution largely dependent on Russian numismatic channels. The West Caucasian tur, a wild goat endemic to the western Greater Caucasus range, was classified as endangered by the IUCN, making it a recurring subject in Abkhazia's wildlife series.
