Commenti

The Emirate of Bukhara's paper currency was a brief and chaotic experiment. Emir Alim Khan introduced these treasury notes in 1919 as his government came under increasing pressure from Bolshevik forces — the Red Army would depose him entirely in September 1920. The emission was as much a political act as a fiscal one, asserting sovereign financial apparatus at precisely the moment that apparatus was disintegrating.

The 300 Tenge denomination sits at the high end of this series, and surviving examples are genuinely scarce. Most notes from this issue circulated hard in a destabilized economy with no redemption mechanism ever put into practice.
