100 Lari

Georgia's 1995 banknote series was the second wave of currency reform following independence — the first attempt, the kupon lari introduced in 1993, collapsed under hyperinflation so severe that the exchange rate reached roughly 1.3 million kuponi to the US dollar before the new lari replaced it at a rate of one million to one in 1995. The 100 lari was the highest denomination in the inaugural lari series, designed at a moment when the government needed the currency to project stability it had not yet actually achieved.

The series was printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company.
