| Comments |
Georgia's coupon currency — the kuponi — was introduced in April 1993 as a transitional instrument after the Soviet ruble collapsed but before the permanent lari could be established. These notes were printed under considerable urgency and with limited domestic infrastructure, which accounts for the sparse security profile.
The "Digit '2' in denominator" designation identifies a specific typographic variety within the series — a collector distinction, not a printing error in the corrective sense.
