| Obverse description | Nimbate frontal bust of Jesus Christ enclosed within a beaded or linear circle, his left hand holding the Book of Gospels; Greek abbreviated legends 'IC XC' (Iesous Christos) flank the bust on either side with titla (abbreviation marks) above. A Nuskhuri Georgian inscription surrounds the central circle forming the outer legend, incorporating a symbol resembling the Greek letter Phi (Ⴔ) as an integral element of the inscribed text rather than a countermark. The overall design follows the Byzantine iconographic tradition standard for medieval Georgian coinage. |
