Comments

The Khorezm People's Soviet Republic was a short-lived Soviet client state established in 1920 after the Red Army overthrew the Khanate of Khiva — which makes a 1918 date on this note genuinely puzzling. The dating almost certainly reflects the Khorezm calendar rather than the Gregorian, a common source of confusion in cataloging Central Asian issues of this period.

Khorezm maintained its own currency system briefly before monetary integration with Soviet Russia rendered these notes obsolete. The series is among the more obscure emissions from the post-Tsarist Central Asian states and rarely appears in Western collections.
