Georgia Coins
The official currency of Georgia is the Georgian lari, introduced in 1995 following the country's independence. Georgian numismatics reflects a rich history dating back centuries, with influences from various civilizations and regional powers.
The current Georgian lari
The lari is divided into 100 tetri and is available in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 20, 50, 100 and 200 lari bills. Coins in circulation are of 1, 2, 5, 10, 10, 20 and 50 tetri, as well as 1 and 2 lari. The designs of these pieces usually feature Georgian historical and cultural motifs, such as monuments, illustrious personages and national symbols.
Monetary history of Georgia
Prior to the lari, Georgia used various coins throughout its history. During the Soviet period, the ruble was the official currency. After independence in 1991, the Georgian coupon was temporarily introduced as a transitional currency. In earlier times, Georgia minted its own coins, such as the kolkhuri tetri in the 6th century BC and various issues during the medieval Georgian kingdoms, reflecting the country's historical and cultural importance in the Caucasus region.
