50 Roubles 1919 Georgia Banknote, VF

This 1919 Georgia 50 Roubles banknote is a rare and historically important piece from the brief period of Georgian independence (1918–1921), following the collapse of the Russian Empire. Issued by the Democratic Republic of Georgia, this note represents a pivotal moment in Caucasus history as the nation sought to establish its own identity and financial systems.

Printed in Tbilisi, the note features rich and elaborate Georgian text and design motifs unique to the era, along with early national symbols. Its intricate patterns and bilingual inscriptions reflect the mix of cultural influences that defined Georgia’s post-imperial period.

This example is graded VF (Very Fine), showing moderate circulation wear with retained structure, legibility, and detail. It maintains clear denomination markings, visible text, and historic character—making it an excellent piece for collectors of pre-Soviet currency, Caucasus region history, or early 20th-century paper money.

This banknote is more than currency—it’s a tangible relic of a nation’s brief yet bold emergence before Soviet annexation in 1921.
