| Comments |
Georgia's brief period of independence between 1918 and 1921 produced a rapid succession of high-denomination notes as the Menshevik government struggled against both economic collapse and Bolshevik military pressure. This 5000 Rouble note was issued in the final months before the Red Army completed its invasion in February 1921, effectively ending the Democratic Republic of Georgia before most of this issue could be meaningfully absorbed into circulation.
The rouble denominations issued by Tiflis during this period are sometimes confused with contemporaneous Transcaucasian issues — the political and monetary boundaries in the region shifted faster than the printing presses could keep up with.
