Commenti	The Emirate of Bukhara was among the last of the Central Asian khanates to issue its own paper currency, doing so only under severe financial strain as Bolshevik forces closed in. The 1919 series was produced locally under extremely crude conditions — the emirate had no meaningful printing infrastructure, and the results are notoriously rough by any technical standard. Alim Khan, the last emir, was deposed in September 1920 when the Red Army took Bukhara. Notes from this 1919 emission had barely entered use before the entire monetary system they represented ceased to exist.
