| Obverse description | Stylized solar motif occupying the central field, depicted as a radiating sun without a facial effigy — a distinctive anonymous type characteristic of late 17th-century Kartlian copper coinage. The rays emanate from a plain central disc and extend toward the irregular flan edges in a roughly symmetrical arrangement. The hammered fabric has resulted in uneven strike depth, with some rays more strongly defined than others. The overall design is rendered in a bold, simplified style consistent with provincial workshop production. No border or legend appears on this face. |
