Georgia 250000 Kuponi 1994, P-50, UNC

Red and orange engraving gives the 250,000 Kuponi a bold emblematic character, combining Samtavisi Cathedral ornament with the Borjgali solar symbol at one of the highest denominations of Georgia’s coupon era.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse centres the Borjgali between two griffins adapted from carvings at Samtavisi Cathedral, with a Tree of Life motif incorporated into the surrounding decoration. Georgian inscriptions, the date 1994 and the large 250,000 denomination occupy the lower field, while the pale watermark area and vertical grey strip at left distinguish the composition from the earlier 1993 issue.

Reverse

The reverse is arranged vertically around the large 250,000 denomination, bordered on both sides by stylised grape-vine carvings derived from Samtavisi Cathedral. Mirrored red vegetal ornament creates a highly decorative composition in which medieval stone-carving motifs become the principal visual subject rather than portraiture or landscape.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, the 250,000 Kuponi illustrates how rapidly denominations expanded during the final phase of Georgia’s short-lived coupon currency, while retaining the same medieval-inspired visual programme introduced on lower values. Its combination of an extremely high face value and a design rooted in Samtavisi ornament makes it especially representative of the 1994 issue; a replacement form beginning with serial digit 9 is reported but remains unconfirmed in the supplied catalogue source.
