| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a rhinoceros depicted in profile, facing right, rendered in a bold, primitive hammered style characteristic of Georgian copper coinage of the early 18th century. The animal's distinctive armored hide and single horn are discernible despite the irregular flan and worn surfaces. The figure occupies the majority of the coin's field, with no surrounding legend or inscription. The strike is typical of the Tiflis Mint's hammered production, resulting in an irregular, uneven planchet with raised edges. |
