The Bukhara Emirate's paper money experiment was brief and desperate. By 1919, Emir Alim Khan's government was under severe pressure from Bolshevik forces closing in from the north, and the treasury issues of this period were essentially emergency instruments printed with minimal infrastructure. The Emirate would fall entirely in September 1920 when Red Army troops under Mikhail Frunze took Bukhara after a three-day assault.

P#24 belongs to the final series of Bukharan tangas — the last monetary output of a khanate-era Central Asian state before Soviet absorption erased the currency entirely.
