Georgia's 2000th anniversary issue appeared the same year the country was still navigating the wreckage of Soviet dissolution — chronic power shortages, territorial conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and a currency only seven years old. A commemorative silver lari in that environment was less a celebration than a statement of institutional ambition from a central bank still establishing its own credibility.
The Georgian Orthodox Church, one of the oldest in the world with autocephaly dating to the 5th century, carries enormous cultural weight in any Georgian commemoration of Christianity's origins.
