Georgia 1,000,000 Lari 1994

The 1,000,000 Lari 1994 banknote is part of the Kuponi series issued by the National Bank of Georgia during the early 1990s, a period marked by extreme hyperinflation. These high-denomination notes were necessary for daily transactions as the economy struggled with rapid devaluation.

The obverse features geometric and ornamental patterns in shades of brown and violet, consistent with other Kuponi notes, without portraits or national symbols.

The reverse presents abstract decorative motifs and designs, reflecting the minimalist emergency style of the series.

This note was short-lived and was demonetized in 1995 when the modern Georgian Lari (GEL) was introduced at a rate of 1 GEL = 1,000,000 Kuponi.
Dimensions: 115 × 55 mm.
