This book-album is a chronicle of Georgian statehood, which covers the period from ancient times to the beginning of the 19th century. Each coin is accompanied by an overview of the respective era. In the album, you will also find photos of exhibits from the eras preserved in the National Museum, which describe each coin with historical accuracy.
The book is interesting for anyone interested in the past of Georgia, including representatives of academic circles.
Working on the gold collection of Georgian coins was a long, responsible and, at the same time, interesting process.
The owner of the album is given a unique opportunity to touch the ancient Georgian coins (metal copies) preserved in national museums, to place them in a unique book-album. to become a co-owner of the treasure of his country.
The coin of King Giorgi II of Imereti is about the size of a nail, but the image on it exactly repeats the fresco of the Gelati Cathedral, a photograph of which is attached to the book. We chose Dmanisi village as photo material for Davit Narin’s coin. Important are the coin of King Tamar, on which the queen’s hand (facsimile) is imprinted, and the silver sura of Tamar, which is preserved in the Svaneti Museum. So this book is very interesting. By getting to know him, along with the desire to become a collector, the reader may also develop a scientific interest. Who knows, maybe the young people interested in this book will replace us tomorrow.
This book is truly unique, because it tells the history of Georgia through coins issued over 27 centuries. It is safe to say that history will become tangible for the reader, literally and figuratively.
This unprecedented venture soon attracted the attention of readers. Today it can be safely said that the “Golden Collection of Georgian Coins” is one of the successful projects in the Georgian publishing space, which has no analogues in the country.
