Georgia's 200 Lari denomination was, at its introduction, the highest value note in the country's post-Soviet currency series — a series that had undergone complete replacement just a decade earlier when the lari itself displaced the hyperinflation-ravaged coupon currency in 1995. A 200 Lari note in 2006 represented a significant transactional value in an economy still rebuilding after the disruptions of the early independence period.
Giesecke & Devrient's Leipzig facility has handled Georgian banknote production across multiple series. The security package here — thread and watermark — reflects the more modest specification common to lower-circulation high-denomination notes of that period, before the NBG moved toward more complex optically variable features in later issues.
