| Comments |
The North Caucasian Emirate and the Council of People's Commissars of the Terek Republic were not the same government — they were opponents. The Terek Soviet Republic was a Bolshevik-aligned entity centered on Vladikavkaz, while the North Caucasian Emirate was an anti-Bolshevik Islamic state declared by Uzun Haji in 1919. The Pick attribution linking this note to both is one of the catalog's more confused assignments, reflecting how poorly documented the competing monetary emissions from this region remain.
The northern Caucasus in 1918 saw at least four distinct authorities printing money within overlapping territories. Distinguishing their emissions by issuer is genuinely difficult.
