| Comments |
Georgia's kuponi series was introduced as a transitional currency after the republic's break from the Soviet ruble zone, and the 25,000 denomination reflects the hyperinflationary spiral that made smaller kuponi values effectively worthless within months of issue. The entire kuponi system was replaced by the lari in 1995, and most high-denomination notes were redeemed and destroyed in bulk, though hoarding was common enough that survivors aren't especially rare.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field in this catalog entry is almost certainly a data error — no Georgian kuponi was printed in 1945.
