Additional information

Abkhazia declared independence from Georgia in 1999, though it remains unrecognized by the vast majority of UN member states. The Bank of Abkhazia issues coins primarily for collector export rather than domestic circulation — the Russian ruble functions as the territory's de facto currency. The "victory" commemorated here refers to the 1992–1993 war with Georgia, which ended with Abkhaz forces, backed by North Caucasian volunteers and tacit Russian support, expelling Georgian troops and much of the ethnic Georgian population from the territory.
