Themaneti (Georgian:მანეთი) was the currency of theDemocratic Republic of Georgia and theGeorgian Soviet Socialist Republic between 1919 and 1923. It replaced the firstTranscaucasian rouble at par and was subdivided into 100kopecks (კაპეიკიk’ap’eik’i). It was replaced by the second Transcaucasian rouble after Georgia became part of theTranscaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic.
After the formation of the Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic in 1918, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan began issuing a single currency unit called the Transcaucasian ruble.
On May 26, 1918, the Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic was disbanded, resulting in the formation of three new republics in the South Caucasus: Georgian, Armenian and Azerbaijani.Georgia began issuing its own currency units called Georgian rubles (maneti), which were also called "Georgian boni".[1]
Only paper money was issued, with the Democratic Republic producing denominations of between 50 kopecks and 5,000 maneti. Except for the 50 kopecks, the reverses of the notes bore the denomination inFrench (roubles) andRussian. In 1922 the GSSR issued denominations between 5,000 and 5 million maneti.
Maneti, derived from theLatinmoneta ("coin"), was used as theGeorgian name for theSoviet rouble. The modern Georgian currency is thelari.
