| Comments |
Georgia's first republic lasted barely three years — declared in May 1918, overrun by the Red Army in February 1921. This note was issued during that compressed window of genuine independence, when Tiflis was trying to establish functional state institutions under enormous pressure from all sides. The republic's currency, denominated in maneti (the Georgian term) alongside the Russian-language parallel, reflected the linguistic politics of a government that was simultaneously asserting national identity and acknowledging that much of its population still conducted commerce in Russian.
The series was printed locally under difficult wartime supply conditions, which accounts for the paper inconsistencies sometimes found across the run.
