Georgia 3 lari BTC Oil Pipeline PR69 PCGS CuNi coin 2006

The Georgia 3 lari commemorative coin, issued in 2006, celebrates the launch of the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline, a landmark infrastructure project that reshaped regional energy transit and strengthened Georgia’s strategic role between East and West. Struck in cupronickel with a refined Proof finish and certified PR69 Deep Cameo by PCGS, this coin combines sharp detail with impressive visual contrast.

The obverse features three tall oil drilling rigs rising above stylized flowing lines that symbolize oil and energy movement. The year “2006” is prominently placed at the top, while the surrounding legend includes Georgian script and “National Bank of Georgia.” The abbreviation “BTC” appears below, anchoring the composition. Textured background fields contrast with smooth mirrored surfaces, enhancing depth and industrial character.

The reverse presents a detailed geographic map of the region, clearly showing the route of the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline. The inscription “BAKU–TBILISI–CEYHAN” spans the upper field, accompanied by Georgian lettering along the rim. At the bottom, the denomination “3 lari” is displayed. Fine outlines of coastlines, borders, and the pipeline route emphasize the scale and importance of this international project.

Graded PR69DCAM by PCGS, this coin is an excellent collectible for those interested in energy history, geopolitics, and modern commemorative coinage.
