| Comments |
Azerbaijan's brief window of independence — the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, 1918 to 1920 — produced a series of provisional notes under severe printing constraints. The 1919 issues, including this 100 Rouble, were produced locally in Baku under conditions far removed from the European security printers the new government would have preferred. Paper quality was inconsistent across the series, and minor colour variations between print runs are common enough to be expected rather than noteworthy.
The Soviet Red Army entered Baku in April 1920, ending the republic and rendering the entire note issue obsolete within months of this denomination's circulation.
