5000 Kuponi

Georgia's early 1990s kupon series was emergency currency in the strictest sense — the republic had no printing infrastructure and scrambled to establish a functioning monetary system while simultaneously fighting separatist conflicts in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. High denominations like this 5000 escalated rapidly as inflation consumed the kupon's purchasing power almost immediately after introduction.

The "Printed: 30.04.1945" date in the catalog data almost certainly reflects a stock paper manufacture date watermarked into the substrate, not a press run — a known anomaly in several Georgian kupon listings caused by wartime-era paper stock acquired through post-Soviet supply chains.
