| Additional information |
David VI Narin ("the Young") issued copper coinage from Dmanisi during a period when the Georgian kingdom was fracturing under Mongol pressure — his reign was effectively a rump state in the southwestern highlands, contested against his co-king David VII. The Dmanisi mint's output from this period is irregular in both weight and fabric, reflecting disrupted supply chains rather than deliberate policy.
The absence of the Qoronikon dating system on Type 3 pieces distinguishes them from earlier issues and likely reflects administrative simplification under occupation-era conditions.
