| Comments |
The Federation of Socialist Soviet Republics of Transcaucasia — uniting Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia under a single monetary umbrella — existed as a distinct political entity only briefly before being absorbed into the USSR at the end of 1922, yet its treasury continued issuing currency well into 1923 as administrative consolidation lagged behind political decree. This 250,000 rouble denomination reflects the staggering inflation that had consumed the region's economy during the civil war and intervention years.
High-denomination Transcaucasian notes from this period are among the more obscure Soviet-era issues, often overlooked in favor of better-documented RSFSR emissions. P#S618 sits in that collector gap — regionally significant, but rarely given serious attention.
