| Additional information |
The Khorezm People's Soviet Republic was a short-lived Soviet client state carved out of the former Khanate of Khiva in 1920, after Red Army forces deposed Khan Sayyid Abdallah. Its independent coinage — produced for only a few years before Khorezm was absorbed into the Soviet Union in 1924 — reflects the chaotic monetary conditions of a region being rapidly reoriented toward Moscow. The Y#15.1 and Y#15.2 variants are distinguished by die differences in the Arabic script legends, a detail that matters considerably to specialists in Central Asian Soviet-era issues.
