The kuponi was Georgia's transitional currency, introduced in April 1993 as a coupon-based parallel to the Soviet ruble before becoming the sole legal tender. By 1994, hyperinflation was severe enough that denominations had climbed to the hundreds of thousands — the 250,000 kuponi sits near the top of a series that became worthless within months of issue. The kuponi was replaced by the lari in 1995 at a rate of one million to one.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field in this catalog entry is almost certainly a data error — no Georgian national currency existed in 1945.
