| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cathedral of St. Simon the Zealot in New Athos was built by Russian monks of the Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos between 1888 and 1900, with construction funded largely by donations from across the Russian Empire and personally blessed by Tsar Alexander III during his 1888 visit — the same visit during which the imperial train derailed at Borki, killing no members of the royal family but widely interpreted as miraculous. The monastery complex became one of the largest in the entire Orthodox world before the Bolsheviks shuttered it in 1924.
The Bank of Abkhazia issues these brass-plated pieces as part of a broader series documenting the territory's cultural and religious heritage — a heritage complicated by the fact that Abkhazia's independence is recognized by only a handful of UN member states.
