| Comments |
Azerbaijan's Democratic Republic — the first parliamentary democracy in the Muslim world — collapsed in April 1920 when the Red Army entered Baku, making the entire local currency issue effectively obsolete within roughly two years of independence. The 100 Roubles of 1919 belongs to the transitional period when the republic was attempting to build functional institutions while simultaneously fighting on multiple fronts, including territorial disputes with Armenia over Karabakh that were already drawing blood.
Paper quality and ink consistency vary noticeably across surviving examples of P#5, reflecting the constrained printing conditions of a government that never fully stabilized its supply chains before Soviet annexation ended the experiment entirely.
