The object of our study was extremely rare for Crimea coin – bisti of last king of Kartli-Kakheti, George XII. She was found in the southwestern part of the peninsula, near the town of Bakhchisaray. Obviously, this coin could not participate in the monetary circulation of the region. After the annexation of Crimea to the Russian market it was full of copper coins of imperial coinage.
