Georgian abazi

Georgian abazi

The abazi was the currency of Georgia until 1833. It was subdivided into 200 "dinar". Other denominations were the "puli" ("copper") of 5 dinar and the "bisti" of 20 dinar.

After the absorption of Georgia into the Russian Empire, the currency was not immediately replaced by the ruble. Instead, a final issue of coins was made between 1804 and 1833 in denominations of 5, 10 and 20 dinar in copper and 100, 200 and 400 dinar in silver. These were related to the Russian currency at a rate of 10 dinar to the kopeck.

The Russian ruble was introduced in 1833 at a rate of 5 abazi = 1 ruble. However, the Georgian coins continued to circulate into the 1860s. [http://www.nbg.gov.ge/eng/banknotes_coins/museum.html]
