The Bukhara People's Soviet Republic was not actually established until 1920, following the Red Army's overthrow of the Emirate of Bukhara. Notes dated 1918 in this series predate the republic's formal existence entirely — the dating reflects the Islamic calendar conversion rather than the Gregorian year of issue, a detail that routinely causes confusion in catalog attribution.
Bukharan Soviet currency occupied an awkward position: the emirate's traditional copper tanga coinage had been the local medium for centuries, and paper instruments from any central authority were viewed with deep suspicion by the bazaar economy they were meant to serve.
