Georgia 3 lari Baku - Tbilisi - Ceyhan BTS Oil Pipeline CuNi coin 2006

The Georgia 3 lari coin issued in 2006 commemorates the launch of the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline, a landmark infrastructure project that strengthened economic ties between the Caspian region and global energy markets. Struck in copper-nickel with a refined proof-like finish, this coin captures the spirit of modern industry and international cooperation.

The background combines textured fields with polished surfaces, creating a striking contrast and depth.

On the reverse, a geographical map highlights the route of the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline, with a connecting line marking its path across regions and coastlines. The inscription “BAKU–TBILISI–CEYHAN” stands boldly across the верхней части, accompanied by Georgian lettering. At the bottom, the denomination “3 lari” is engraved with clean precision.
