| Comments |
The Federation of Socialist Soviet Republics of Transcaucasia was a short-lived political union of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, formally constituted in March 1922 and absorbed into the USSR by the end of 1922. These notes were issued during that transitional limbo — after the federation's political subordination was effectively settled but before the monetary architecture of the new union had fully replaced regional issuance. The 10,000 rouble denomination reflects the hyperinflationary environment of the early Soviet period, when denominations climbed rapidly to keep pace with collapsing purchasing power.
P#S614 is catalogued under the "S" prefix — Soviet regional issues — which places it outside mainstream Soviet monetary history, despite being entirely state-issued.
