A visually spectacular and highly significant artifact of Caucasian and Civil War numismatic history: of an original 5000 Rubles State Credit Note (манети) issued by the Democratic Republic of Georgia in 1921, just prior to the Soviet transition.
This large-format banknote features incredible trilingual typography in Georgian, French, and pre-revolutionary Russian scripts, stating its mandatory legal tender status alongside Russian credit notes. The focal point is a masterful, intricate center vignette showcasing an elegant seven-pointed star framing Saint George (The Knight in the Panther's Skin motif) on horseback surrounded by the sun, moon, and stars.
