The History of Georgian Money

The Georgian rules have always minted their own money, even when the country was temporarily controlled by conquerors.

Over the centuries, the shape, inscriptions, and depictions on the coins has changed in accordance with the political and economic situation in the country. Economic and political reasons were the basis for the frequent bilingual inscriptions on the coins (Georgian-Greek, Georgian-Arabic, Georgian-Persian).
