The design of this new banknote, which celebrates the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the Lari, was the fruit of an international competition involving significant actors in the industry.
Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions won this competition. Shown here is a concept design; the final banknote will likely look somewhat different.
The design is not just a banknote but also an artistic testament to the nation's rich history and vibrant future. It breaks free from the traditional horizontal design, embracing a revolutionary vertical layout that tells a unique story. This design symbolizes Georgia's unique journey of resilience and progress, with a kaleidoscope of vivid colors metaphorically representing the nation's cultural diversity, inviting you to delve deeper into its narrative.
The front side portrays Georgia's contemporary face, symbolizing present achievements and global integration, while the reverse side delves into the nation's rich history and cultural legacy. The harmonious fusion of past, present, and future invites observers to immerse themselves in the narrative, with meticulous details narrating each chapter of Georgia's story—from the ancient Tetri to the vibrant present.
