| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed on coarse cotton fabric in olive-green and rose-red, the obverse presents a central field of Arabic-script text arranged in multiple lines within an ornamental frame of stylised floral and geometric guilloche motifs. The denomination '250' appears in both Arabic-Eastern and Western numerals at the lower left and right corners. A further line of smaller Arabic script runs along the bottom margin, likely conveying the legal tender or issuing authority clause. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, also printed on cotton fabric in the same olive-green and rose-red palette, displays a simplified symmetrical vignette of stylised foliate branches flanking a central arch or dome motif, all enclosed within a plain ruled border with corner ornaments. Arabic-script text in several lines occupies the central panel, with the denomination '250' repeated in Western numerals at the lower right. The overall design is markedly plainer than the obverse, with minimal additional ornamentation. |

The Khorezm People's Soviet Republic was a short-lived Soviet satellite carved out of the old Khanate of Khiva in April 1920 — which raises an immediate question about any note dated 1919. The dating likely reflects the pre-republic transitional authority that preceded formal Soviet reorganization, when local revolutionary committees were issuing currency without a stable institutional identity behind it.
Cotton fabric as a printing substrate was not an exotic choice here — it was a practical necessity. Paper supplies in the region were essentially nonexistent, and Khiva had cotton. The notes were produced locally under genuinely primitive conditions, which accounts for the crude typography and significant variation between surviving examples.
