Schoolchildren in nine regions of Georgia have created designs for 100 GEL banknotes for a competition announced by the National Bank of Georgia in celebration of the 100th anniversary of its foundation.
Famous Georgian kings, writers, public figures, cultural heritage and heraldry were the main inspiration for the schoolchildren.
A jury chose 20 winning designs and will award them on March 31 at the Money Museum in Kvareli, Georgia’s Kakheti region, where the schoolchildren will attend an interactive lecture on the history of Georgian currencies.
The main goal of the competition is to raise a new generation interested in finances.
