50 Kuponi digit '2' in denominator

The Georgian kuponi series was an emergency parallel currency introduced after independence, while Georgia was still using Soviet rubles. These notes were not designed for permanence — the kuponi was always a transitional instrument, and the entire series was replaced by the lari in 1995. The "digit '2' in denominator" designation refers to a control number variant used to distinguish print runs within the same denomination, a cataloguing distinction that matters more to specialists than it ever did to cashiers.

The 1945 print date almost certainly reflects reused or misdated printing equipment, not actual 1945 production — this note was issued in 1993.
