100 Tengas / Ten'gov

The Bukharan People's Soviet Republic was a short-lived Soviet satellite state, nominally independent but effectively under Bolshevik control following the 1920 overthrow of the Emir. These 1918 treasury notes predate that political transition — they were issued under the preceding revolutionary government still using the traditional tenge denomination rather than Soviet monetary units, which reflects the ideological awkwardness of the early transition period in Central Asia.

The handstamp security feature was a practical necessity: print infrastructure in Bukhara was rudimentary, and authentication by stamp was the most reliable option available to the treasury at the time.
