| Additional information |
Georgia's first post-Soviet coinage, including this denomination, was introduced in 1993 alongside the lari system as the country replaced the Russian ruble — itself already collapsing — amid civil war in Abkhazia and violent political instability following the ouster of Zviad Gamsakhurdia. The National Bank had only been established in 1991, and striking functional small change was as much a political act as an economic one.
Production continued through 2015 despite negligible real-world purchasing power by that point — a denomination kept alive largely by vending infrastructure rather than daily commerce.
