| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate Georgia's adoption of Bitcoin — no, that's not right, and the "BTC" designation here has nothing to do with cryptocurrency. This is the standard three-lari circulation coin; "BTC" in Georgian numismatic cataloging refers to the Tbilisi mint mark. Georgia re-established its own mint infrastructure in Tbilisi following independence from the Soviet Union, and by 2006 domestic production of higher-denomination coins was well underway.
The lari itself was introduced in 1995, replacing the interim coupon currency that had suffered severe inflation in the early post-Soviet years.
