The Federation of Socialist Soviet Republics of Transcaucasia — uniting Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia — existed as a distinct political entity only from 1922 until its absorption into the USSR at the end of 1922, though its currency apparatus lingered into 1923. Notes of this federation occupy an odd transitional niche: the Transcaucasian ruble was running parallel to, and rapidly being overtaken by, the Soviet chervonets reform that Gosbank launched in late 1922 to stabilize the catastrophic hyperinflation that had driven denominations into the tens of millions.
The P#S622 is among the highest denominations in the Transcaucasian series — a direct artifact of that inflation, not an administrative choice.
