In 1991, the banknotes of the period of the kingdom formally lost the force of legal tender, but in fact continued to be used in circulation.

Outwardly, they did not differ, the difference is only at face value. The special currency of the Northern Alliance was also used. All banknotes since the April Revolution were printed in the USSR, then Russia.
