| Additional information |
Abkhazia's coin program occupies genuinely strange numismatic territory — the National Bank issues currency for a state recognized by fewer than a handful of UN members, making every piece as much a political artifact as a collectible. The Cathedral of the Holy Apostle Andrew in Pitsunda is one of the oldest surviving Christian structures in the Caucasus, its origins reaching back to a 6th-century Byzantine basilica on the site of ancient Pityus.
The partial gold-plating treatment on this silver issue follows a production approach the NBRA used across several of its collector series from this period, distinguishing architectural highlights from the field.
