Georgia 3 lari BTC Oil Pipeline PR69 PCGS CuNi coin 2006

The Georgia 3 lari commemorative coin, issued in 2006, marks the launch of the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline, one of the most significant international energy projects linking the Caspian region with global markets. Struck in cupronickel with a refined Proof finish and graded PR69 Deep Cameo by PCGS, this coin offers exceptional detail, strong contrast, and near-perfect preservation.

The obverse features a striking industrial scene with three oil drilling towers rising above stylized flowing lines that represent oil and energy movement. The inscription “2006” appears prominently at the top, while the surrounding legend includes Georgian script and “National Bank of Georgia.” At the bottom, the abbreviation “BTC” is clearly visible, anchoring the composition. The combination of textured background and smooth mirrored surfaces enhances depth and visual impact.

The reverse presents a detailed geographic map showing the route of the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline across the region. The inscription “BAKU–TBILISI–CEYHAN” runs across the upper field, accompanied by Georgian text along the rim. The denomination “3 lari” is placed at the bottom. Fine outlines, route markers, and contrasting finishes emphasize the scale and importance of this infrastructure project.

Certified by PCGS in PR69DCAM condition, this coin is a valuable addition for collectors of modern commemoratives, industrial themes, and geopolitical history.
