Description: The Tannu Tuva People's Republic, in existence from 1921 to 1944, operated as a socialist republic but essentially functioned as a puppet state under Soviet influence. It encompassed the Tuva region, formerly the Uryankhay Krai protectorate of the Russian Empire. Recognized by the Soviet Union in 1924 and Mongolia in 1926, the Tuvan state eventually merged into the Russian SFSR in October 1944 at the request of the Tuvan parliament, concluding its 23-year period of independence. Today, Tuva is an administrative part of Russia.Between 1934 and 1944, the Tuvan People's Republic utilized the akşa as its currency, initially on par with the Soviet ruble, divided into 100 kɵpejek. In the Tuvan language, "akşa" simply translates to "money."Prior to the introduction of the akşa, Tuva employed overprinted Russian and Soviet banknotes. The first series in 1924 featured denominations in lan, equivalent to the face value of Russian notes. The second series in 1933 showcased overprints on Soviet notes in rubles and chervonets.In 1934, coins denominated as 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 kɵpejek were introduced, adopting the Tuvanized term for the Russian kopeck. Banknotes ranging from 1 to 25 aksa were issued in 1935 and 1940, with the names kɵpejek and akşa written in Janalif script.Following the Tuvan People's Republic's integration into the Soviet Union, the akşa was replaced by the ruble, with 1 akşa now equivalent to 3.5 rubles.
