akdrv Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 In two weeks, a new GEL 200 banknote will enter circulation. The banknote, which depicts Sokhumi on one side and a renowned Georgian freedom fighter on the other, was unveiled at the National Bank of Georgia last Saturday. New security features and high-quality printing make it totally unique. The banknote was developed in collaboration with German specialists, Giesecke & Devrient The ceremony was attended by President Saakashvili, President of the National Bank of Georgia Roman Gotsiridze, representatives of Giesecke & Devrient and the banknote's designers, Bachana and Nodar Malazonia. Walter Shlebuh, director of Giesecke & Devrient, who came specially for the unveiling, underlined the banknote's security features, "The new GEL 200 banknote was printed by Giesecke & Devrient, and is one of the most secure banknotes in the world. Several exclusive technological novelties are used in the banknote." http://www.messenger.com.ge/issues/1329_ap...07/n_1329_2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I was hoping they'd keep the same design theme as the existing notes. I really liked them. Yes, those are neat. But apparently the new note is supposed to have a political message: The reverse side has a picture of the breakaway Abkhaz capital, Sokhumi, and the words "Sokhumi, Abkhazia" in three languages-Abkhaz, English and Georgian Oh, and ... Walter Shlebuh, director of Giesecke & Devrient ... can anybody buy them an S and two C's? The man's name is Schlebusch ... Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San_Miguel98 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 i just learned something new. this site has a specimen set showing the georgian 500-lari note. i had no idea it even existed! http://worldpapermoney.org/georgia.htm it's too bad it's only used in financial transfers. i'd want a hologrammed 500 note to match the 50 and 100, since the 200 looks more like the beginning of a new design series.
