| Comments |
The Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic existed as a nominally independent entity for less than two years before being formally absorbed into the Transcaucasian SFSR in 1922. This 100 Rouble note dates from 1920, the same year the Red Army invaded and ended the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic's short-lived independence. The new Soviet government issued emergency currency almost immediately — partly to establish administrative legitimacy, partly because the existing note supply was in chaos.
P#S710 falls within a series produced under extremely constrained conditions. The "S" prefix in the Pick reference signals provisional or semi-official status, which tracks with the political instability of that transitional period in the South Caucasus.
