3000 Kuponi

Georgia's early 1990s kuponi notes were stopgap instruments, introduced after the Soviet ruble collapsed and before the lari could be established. The 3000 kuponi denomination reflects the hyperinflationary spiral the country was caught in during this period — denominations escalated rapidly across just a few emission cycles.

The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field almost certainly refers to the watermarked paper stock, not a printing date for the note itself — recycled or stockpiled security paper from existing reserves was a documented workaround for newly independent states lacking immediate access to specialist printing infrastructure.
