The Bukhara People's Soviet Republic was a short-lived state — formally proclaimed in September 1920 after the Red Army overthrew the Emirate of Bukhara, though some transitional treasury issues predate the proclamation. This 100 Tengas note falls into that chaotic interregnum period when the old Bukharan monetary system was being dismantled but no coherent replacement had been established. The tenga itself was the traditional unit of the Emirate, retained provisionally while Bolshevik administrators sorted out what came next.
The republic was absorbed into the Uzbek SSR by 1924, making the entire run of Bukharan Soviet issues a span of just a few years.
