The kuponi was Georgia's transitional currency, introduced in 1993 as a coupon-based parallel to the Soviet ruble while the country's economy was in free fall — hyperinflation, civil conflict in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and a near-total collapse of state revenues all hit simultaneously. These low denominations became functionally worthless within months of issue, which is why the print run of over twelve million pieces produced almost no surviving examples in circulated fine condition; they were spent until they disintegrated or discarded entirely.
The kuponi was replaced by the lari in 1995 at a rate of one million kuponi to one lari.
