| Averslegende | თ-ამა-რ †ႱႾႪႧႠ ႶႧႠ ႨႵႬႠ ႽႤႣႠႨ ႥႺႾႪႱႨ ႠႫႱ ႵႰႩႬႱ ჃႦ (Translation: T-ama-R † In the name of God, this coin was struck in the year 407 of the Qoronikon;) |
| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse presents five lines of Arabic naskh script in the central field, conveying the full royal titulature of Queen Tamar. A continuous circular Arabic legend frames the central inscription, separated by a linear border. The text identifies Tamar as the great queen, glory of the world and of the faith, daughter of Giorgi, and champion of the Messiah, reflecting the bilingual Georgian-Islamic chancellery tradition. The hammered flan imparts a characteristically uneven surface with moderate die relief. The image shown appears to be the reverse of this coin. |

Tamar's copper issues are notoriously inconsistent in fabric, a product of decentralized minting across a kingdom expanding rapidly through military campaigns into Armenia, Anatolia, and the northern Caucasus. The Tbilisi mint operated under pressure to supply coinage for an economy growing faster than its administrative infrastructure could manage, and weight standards were treated as approximate at best.
Tamar remains the only woman to have ruled Georgia in her own right, crowned in 1184 and later given the male title "Mepe" — king — in official documents and on coinage itself.
