The Azerbaijan People's Government was a Soviet-backed separatist administration that controlled the Tabriz region of northwestern Iran from late 1945 until its collapse in December 1946, when Iranian central government forces retook the area. These notes were issued as a direct challenge to Tehran's monetary authority during that brief occupation — a parallel currency in a territory Iran had never formally ceded.
The perforated numeral security feature is notably rudimentary for a state-level issue, suggesting the notes were produced quickly and under limited technical means, consistent with what was essentially a provisional political apparatus dependent on Soviet logistical support.
Surviving examples tend to show minimal wear, the regime having lasted barely fourteen months.
