<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zantetsuken, post: 743336, member: 21665&quot;]This next part deals with notes from the <b>BUKHARA SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC</b>. Bukhara was initially an independent emirate from 1917 until 1920 when it was conquered by the Soviets. The first specimen is a 50 Ruble note date 1338 AH/1920 AD. The second is a 20,000 Ruble note dated 1339 AH/1921 AD, and the third is 10 Ruble note dated 1340 AH/1922 AD. The first two specimens were printed with wooden blocks, whereas the third looks to have been done with a printing press since the quality is more refined.&nbsp; Bukhara remained a republic until 1925 when it was dissolved and reincorporated into the Soviet republics of Uzbekistan and portions of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://img121.imageshack.us/i/bukharasoviet50ruble133.jpg/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img121.imageshack.us/i/bukharasoviet50ruble133.jpg/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/2268/bukharasoviet50ruble133.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>BUKHARA SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC~50 Ruble 1338 AH/1920 AD</b></i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://img121.imageshack.us/i/bukharasoviet10000ruble.jpg/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img121.imageshack.us/i/bukharasoviet10000ruble.jpg/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/880/bukharasoviet10000ruble.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>BUKHARA SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC~20,000 Ruble 1339 AH/1921 AD</b></i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://img40.imageshack.us/i/bukharasoviet10ruble134.jpg/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img40.imageshack.us/i/bukharasoviet10ruble134.jpg/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/2172/bukharasoviet10ruble134.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>BUKHARA SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC~10 Ruble 1340 AH/1922 AD</b></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
