Georgia declared independence from the Soviet Union in April 1991, but the newly sovereign republic had no printing infrastructure of its own. This note was produced by Goznak in Russia — the same state security printer that had supplied Soviet currency for decades — making it an odd artifact of a government simultaneously breaking from Moscow while still depending on its facilities. The "state loan" designation reflects an interim financing mechanism used while Georgia scrambled to establish monetary independence before introducing the lari in 1995.
High inflation rendered the entire coupon series effectively worthless within months of issue.
