The Bukhara People's Soviet Republic did not actually exist in 1918 — the Emirate of Bukhara was not overthrown until the Red Army assault of September 1920. These early Soviet-era notes were issued under transitional or provisional authority, and the attribution of issuing body in many catalogs reflects post-hoc Soviet administrative labeling rather than the political reality at the time of printing.
The 60 tengas denomination is itself worth noting. It is not a round figure by any conventional monetary logic, and its appearance alongside other odd denominations in this series reflects acute small-change shortages in Central Asia during the revolutionary period, when metal coinage had largely disappeared from circulation.
