Summer is coming, and Georgia, as usual, meets a lot of guests. If You are planning to be among them, feel free to contact me. I live in Tbilisi ( capital) , and will happy to swap or trade with all of You.
My interest: Medieval and late ( befor 1945) coinage, Ilkhans, ancient near east, , Georgian coins. Also African coinage .
Also, I can help You to find here nice coins, and avoid cheaters and counterfeit-sellers.
Is Georgia a good place to visit these days, with Russia/ Abkhazia conflicts? We don't hear much about that region these days, so not sure how the tourism situation is.
Also, do a lot of people speak Russian and/or English?
Due to Abkhazia and Samachablo frozen conflicts, Russians are not welcomed in Georgia. New Generation doesnot speak russian (english is ok) , we, - ex-USSR people, we speak Russian.
Situation in Georgia is good for tourism,Abkhazia and Samachablo are like Northern Cyprus for Other Cyprus.
For the record, I'm not russian. Born in Ukraine, but first language is russian. Sucks, I know…
Even today, most Ukrainians understand the Russian language, as Ukrainian is a closely related language, as is Belarusian.
Last year, some of the Ukrainian Border Guards yelled the Russian language version of ‘Russian warship, go F*** yourself!’ to the crew of a Russian warship - which has even been commemorated on stamps of Ukraine & Sierra Leone, of all places!

You mean this stamp ?
Yes, that is the stamp.
Sierra Leone even used the same design for one of their own stamps - possibly to express support for Ukraine's fight for freedom.
I love the Georgian script and the Georgian food. We actually have a Georgian restaurant not too far from where I live, and we have visited it twice, and was never disappointed.
A couple of friends of us visited Georgia last summer, or the summer before that, and showed us pictures and talked about the country, the people - and of course the food! They also gave us a bottle of Georgian ღვინო (that's wine, btw). So now I really wanna go! 😄
I doubt I will be able to swap with you, but a local guide and good company is always welcome!
This year I will not be able to visit, but there's always a next year, so who knows? 😁
Yes, and here we support Ukraine too, even directly fight and die with ukrainians. I just trying to not use Numista as political plathform .
My view is known for everybody who knows me.
Thanks, dear Aidan.
Yours,
David.
David,
My head of state His Majesty King Charles III has expressed very strong pro-Ukrainian sympathies in speeches - & has met the President of Ukraine in London several times.
I am very sympathetic to freedom-loving people who are fighting to do the right thing - no matter whether they are Georgians, Taiwanese, Ukrainians or decent-minded New Zealanders who are fed up with the evil & morally bankrupt policies that are being advocated & promoted by the politicians over here.
His Majesty King Charles III is a man I have a huge respect for, not only because I have met him in person twice here in New Zealand - but because he has done a lot of good like both his late parents did.
Aidan.
