Depending on which volume of KM you use you may or may not find it listed and then its attribution changes. The latest I have lists it under 'Central Asia, Khiva, Khorezm People's Soviet Republic.' Also known as Khwarezm it can also be listed under Uzbekistan.
This entity existed between AH 1338-1343 (1920 - 1924 AD). I purchased it as part of my study concerning the origin & evolution of the Hammer & Sickle (see Chile). This appears to be the earliest dated use of this powerful symbol with a relationship to the Communist Soviet movement.
This is a crude hammered coin and the planchet appears to be cast. Like most coins made by this method, some filing was involved mostly on the edges.
This denomination is 100 Rubles, other denominations are 20, 25 & 500 rubles, all of base metals, either bronze, or brass.
The Soviet Republic was founded by local authorities upon dissolution of the khanate. Coins were coarsely struck with primitive machinery using hand-engraved dies. All inscriptions are in Uzbek Turkish in the Arabic script and Russian.

Thanks to Zantetsuken we have nearly a complete collection of these scarce coins shown here. It's interesting to note that value/size of these coins have no corollation. It appears the largest coin of the Soviet period (20 Rubles) is larger than the 500 Rubles while the composition can be the same.
