Comments

Georgia's 1999 series arrived just as the lari itself was still finding its footing — the currency had only been introduced in 1995 to replace the interim coupon system that followed the collapse of the Soviet ruble zone. The 100 Lari was the highest denomination in that first substantive issue, printed by Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig, whose Georgian central bank contracts during the 1990s covered several of the newly independent Caucasian states simultaneously.

Pick 67 is now superseded by later redesigned issues, making circulated survivors from this first run the more historically grounded examples of the series.
