| Reverse description | A falcon depicted in profile to the left, shown in the act of striking down a crane beneath it. The bird of prey dominates the central field, its wings partially spread and talons engaged with its prey, rendered in a bold, stylised manner characteristic of Kartlian copper coinage of the mid-18th century. The surrounding field is plain and largely unadorned, with traces of a faint border visible along the rim. The flan is irregular and shows typical hammered fabric. |
