| Additional information |
Abkhazia's coinage occupies a peculiar legal position — the territory issues its own currency through the Bank of Abkhazia, yet the Russian ruble functions as the de facto medium of exchange. These brass-plated steel apsar pieces circulate more as numismatic curiosities than working money.
The Dormition Cathedral in Myku dates to the medieval period of Abkhazian church architecture, part of a broader ecclesiastical building tradition that flourished under the Abkhazian Kingdom between the 9th and 10th centuries.
