Georgia's kuponi series was a transitional currency, introduced after the country left the Soviet ruble zone. The kuponi suffered catastrophic hyperinflation almost immediately — by 1994 the lari replaced it at a rate of one million kuponi to one lari, which means this note became functionally worthless within roughly a year of issue.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field almost certainly refers to the date embedded in the watermark paper stock, not a press date — recycled or repurposed security paper from postwar European stocks was not uncommon in early 1990s FSU emergency currency production.
