| Comments |
Georgia's kupon series was a transitional currency, introduced after independence as the Soviet ruble collapsed but before the permanent lari was ready. These notes were not designed to last — they were stopgaps, printed quickly and circulated into ruin almost immediately under severe hyperinflation that peaked in 1994. The 1993 issues depreciated so fast that even the smallest denominations became effectively worthless within months.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" date in the metadata almost certainly refers to a misattributed or erroneous field — no Georgian kupon was printed in 1945.
