Georgia's 10 Lari denomination has had a complicated recent history — the series was substantially redesigned in the late 2010s as part of a broader modernization push by the National Bank, driven partly by counterfeiting pressure on the older polymer-hybrid issues. Giesecke & Devrient's Leipzig facility has handled Georgian banknote production across multiple series, and the relationship is long enough that specification changes between printings are not always reflected in Pick catalogue distinctions.
P#77 is the cotton paper iteration. Earlier 10 Lari notes in the redesigned series used different substrate specifications, making substrate identification relevant to precise cataloguing here.
