| Additional information |
Abkhazia's coin program occupies a peculiar legal and numismatic space — the republic's independence is recognized by fewer than a handful of UN member states, meaning these issues function more as bullion collectibles and political assertions than circulating currency. The National Bank operates under those constraints with full awareness, targeting the collector market almost exclusively.
The Dormition Cathedral at New Athos — not to be confused with the older medieval structure in Pitsunda — was built by Russian monks in the late 19th century under direct patronage of Tsar Alexander III.
