| Comments |
Georgia's brief period of Menshevik-led independence (1918–1921) forced the new government to establish its own currency almost immediately after breaking from the collapsing Russian Empire. These notes were issued under acute fiscal pressure, with the republic simultaneously fighting off Denikin's White forces, Bolshevik incursions, and a territorial dispute with Armenia over Borchali.
The printing arrangements for the 1919 series remain poorly documented — a recurring problem with Transcaucasian issues of this period, where wartime conditions disrupted normal contracting and record-keeping. The Soviet takeover in February 1921 rendered the entire Georgian currency worthless overnight, cutting short what had been less than three years of monetary independence.
