As President of the National Bank of Georgia, Koba Gvenetadze, writes on the social network, when the National Bank issues a new collectible coin, it will be given as a gift to people with outstanding merit, whose work fits the theme of the coin.

"This decision has always been the subject of long deliberation and discussion. However, I must admit that in the case of Queen Tamar's coin, we have made an instant and unanimous decision.

Mrs. Nona Gaprindashvili - the first female grandmaster chess player and multiple champion who, like Queen Tamar, did not lag behind men in the field, where a woman's large-scale success was unimaginable.She made Georgia famous all over the world. I think the handing over of Queen Tamar's collectible coin to her by the employees of the National Bank of Georgia is a symbolic recognition of Mrs. Nona Gaprindashvili’s worldwide merit.I am especially proud that the total amount of the coin was collected through the efforts of the employees of the National Bank,” - Koba Gvenetadze wrote.
