The Georgian kupon series of 1993 was a transitional currency — effectively a coupon-based parallel tender introduced as Georgia exited the Soviet ruble zone. The kuponi suffered catastrophic inflation almost immediately, rendering low denominations like this one functionally worthless within months of issue. The "digit '1' in denominator" designation in the Pick catalog distinguishes a typographic variant in the fraction-style denomination rendering, a minor but catalogued printing difference within the series.
The 1945 print date in the metadata is almost certainly a data error — no Georgian kuponi existed in 1945.
