| Obverse description | A predatory feline, identified as a lion, depicted in dynamic profile striding to the left and attacking a prey animal, rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of Georgian hammered copper coinage. The prey, likely a stag or ungulate, is shown prostrate beneath the lion, with its legs splayed and head raised. The figures are rendered in low relief with strong, deeply struck outlines against a plain field. No legend or inscription appears on this side. The execution is typical of the crude but vigorous engraving tradition of the Tiflis mint in the early eighteenth century. |
