  1. Information is correct. This coin is called fels or fulus. The coin is dated 447 year of Koronikonsa - ancient Georgia calendar (1227AD). Avers first side says RSN, (RuSudaN) - center. Round legend - 6 letters KKN (KoroniKoNsa) and 447. Reverse - 4 lines in Arabic:
    Queen of Kings and Queen,
    Glory of the World, Kingdom and Faith,
    worshiper of the Messiah,
    may God Increase her victories.
