| Obverse description | A lion passant to right occupies the central field, its tail curling upward over its back and terminating in a stylized floral or foliate motif. The animal is depicted in a robust, archaic style characteristic of Georgian hammered coinage of the period. Decorative pellets and a partial dotted or beaded border are visible along the inner periphery of the flan. |
