Georgia 3000 Kuponi 1993, P-45, UNC

Brown and yellow engraving gives the 3000 Kuponi a strongly symbolic character, combining Samtavisi Cathedral carvings with the Borjgali solar motif and stylised grape vines.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse centres the Borjgali, a traditional Georgian solar symbol, between two griffins adapted from carved decoration at Samtavisi Cathedral. A Tree of Life motif is integrated into the composition, while Georgian inscriptions, the year 1993 and the large 3000 denomination are arranged within a restrained brown ornamental field.

Reverse

The reverse is arranged vertically around the large 3000 denomination, bordered on both sides by stylised grape-vine carvings derived from Samtavisi Cathedral. The mirrored vegetal ornament and narrow vertical format create a highly decorative composition in which medieval stone-carving motifs replace the architectural landscapes of Georgia’s earlier 1993 coupon issues.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, the 3000 Kuponi belongs to Georgia’s distinctive fourth 1993 coupon issue, whose medieval ornamental programme makes it immediately recognisable beside the earlier Tbilisi–Vardzia designs. The unusual denomination and highly vertical reverse also give it a strong visual identity within the short-lived kuponi series, while replacement notes beginning with serial digit 9 form a separate specialist variety.
