The national epic poem ‘The Knight in the Panther’s Skin’ by the 12th century Kartvelian poet and thinker Shota Rustaveli is considered one of the most significant works in the history of medieval literature. Until the early 20th century, a copy of this poem even was a part of the dowry of every Kartvelian bride. Inspired by this literary masterpiece, the Lithuanian Mint created an impressive series of coins named after the poem. The first coin in the series, ‘The Coronation of Tinatin‘, reflects one of the most important parts of the famous poem – the coronation episode of Tinatin.
