<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zantetsuken, post: 743238, member: 21665&quot;]Here are a few specimens from the <b>KHWAREZM SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC</b>. This territory was initially called the &#039;Khanate of Khiva&#039; which was independent from 1917 until 1920, when it was captured by the communists. Khwarezm was once a powerful empire in Central Asia from the 11th to the 13th centuries, and the name &#039;Khwarezm&#039; was temporarily restored during the Soviet order. The first specimen is a 20 Ruble coin dated 1338 AH/1920 AD, thus being the first territory to issue Soviet coinage. The second is a 25 Ruble coin dated 1339 AH/1921 AD, and the third is a 500 Ruble coin dated 1340 AH/1922. 1922 was the last year that the KSPR minted coins before being incorporated into the Soviet republics of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and the autonomous region of Karakalpakia in 1925.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/samuraisedge/KhwarezmSoviet20Ruble1920.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>KHWAREZM SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC~20 Ruble 1338 AH/1920 AD</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/samuraisedge/KhwarezmSoviet25Ruble1339AH1921AD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>KHWAREZM SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC~25 Ruble 1339 AH/1921 AD</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/samuraisedge/KhwarezmSPR500Ruble1340AH1922AD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>KHWAREZM SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC~500 Ruble 1340 AH/1922 AD</b></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
