<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zantetsuken, post: 743324, member: 21665&quot;]This last section deals with notes from the Soviet Transcaucasia. In 1923, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan were united to become the <b>FEDERATION OF SOCIALIST SOVIET REPUBLICS OF TRANSCAUCASIA</b> later called the <b>TRANSCAUCASIAN SOVIET FEDERATED SOCIALIST REPUBLIC</b>. The first specimen is a 1,000 Ruble note from the FEDERATION OF SOCIALIST SOVIET REPUBLICS OF TRANSCAUCSIA dated 1923. The second and third specimens are 100,000,000 Ruble and 1,000,000,000 Ruble notes from the TRANSCAUCASIAN SOVIET FEDERATED SOCIALIST REPUBLIC both dated 1924. The 1924 issues were only circulated for a short time before converting to the ruble system of the U.S.S.R.. The federation of Transcaucasia lasted until 1936 when Joseph Stalin desolved the union due to the ethnic tension between the respective republics. Following that, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan each gained official republic status of the U.S.S.R..</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://img21.imageshack.us/i/transcaucasianfssr1000r.jpg/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img21.imageshack.us/i/transcaucasianfssr1000r.jpg/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/382/transcaucasianfssr1000r.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>FEDERATION OF SOCIALIST SOVIET REPUBLICS OF TRANSCAUCSIA~1,000 Ruble 1923</b></i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://img269.imageshack.us/i/transcaucasiansfsr10000.jpg/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img269.imageshack.us/i/transcaucasiansfsr10000.jpg/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/2040/transcaucasiansfsr10000.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>TRANSCAUCASIAN SOVIET FEDERATED SOCIALIST REPUBLIC~100,000,000 Ruble 1924</b></i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://img94.imageshack.us/i/transcaucasiansfsr10000.jpg/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img94.imageshack.us/i/transcaucasiansfsr10000.jpg/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/2040/transcaucasiansfsr10000.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>TRANSCAUCASIAN SOVIET FEDERATED SOCIALIST REPUBLIC~1,000,000,000 Ruble 1924</b></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
