The obverse of 2022 1 oz Tariel Fighting the Wild Beast Coins features Queen Elizabeth II. This beloved 1998 design by Ian Rank-Broadley shows Her Majesty in right-profile relief with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara atop her head. The coin’s hallmarks are included along the edge. The outer rim features an ornate decorative pattern.

On the reverse of the 2022 1 oz Antique Silver Tariel Fighting the Wild Beast Coin is a depiction of Tariel taking on a tiger and a lion. The background consists of rocky terrain, and the entire image is crafted in the style of classic Medieval artwork.  The title The Knight in the Panther’s Skin refers to Tariel, who is found early in the poem crying by a river while dressed in a panther’s skin. Tariel, with the help of Avtandil, later sets out on a quest to find his true love, Nestan-Darejan. This epic poem is a classic adventure story that contains strong themes of courtly love and friendship. It is also notable for its stance against arranged marriage and its equal views of men and women. This 12th-century masterpiece was definitely ahead of its time in that regard.
