It was established in March 12 1922 as Federal Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics of Transcaucasus,
ФСССРЗ (FSSSRZ); reorganised
in December 13 1922 to ЗСФСР (ZSFSR),
Transcaucasian Socialistic Federal Soviet Republic
(Закавказсая
Социалистическая
Федеративная
Советская
Республика).
Gvido Petersons, 26 Mar 1999
After the three republics
(Armenia,
Azerbaidjan,
and Georgia)
had been conquered
by the Red Army, a Transcaucasian Socialist
Federal Soviet Republic was formed in 1922,
becoming a Union Republic of the USSR in the
same year. In 1936 this republic was abolished
and Armenia,
Azerbaidjan,
and Georgia
were established as Union Republics.
Jarig Bakker, 26 Mar 1999,
quoting
Everyman’s Concise Encyclopaedia of Russia,
S. V. Utechin, 1961
I suppose the "ZSSRFS" on the flag above
is either an error: should be either ZSFSR
or FSSSRZ.
Jorge Candeias, 26 Mar 1999
"ZSSRFS" might mean
"Закавказских
Социалистических
Советских
Республик
Федеративный
Союз" | "Zakavkazskiq Socialistiĉeskiq
Sovetskiq Respublik Federativnyĭ Soûz".

Red with red star fimbriated yellow, one point
pointing to upper hoist. In the star yellow hammer
and sickle. Beneath the star yellow cyrillic
initials (ZSFSR) in sanserif, curved.

In a 1923 banknote I’ve found what seems
to be a red flag with a five pointed star belonging to the Federation of
Socialist Soviet Republics of Transcaucasia, flown on top of a bulding
(perhaps the Soviet) in Erevan (?).

I have found a picture of the arms of the ZSFSR
(again on a banknote): a five-pointed star with
ornamental design (similar to the present
Georgian arms), in the center
a mountain range with three peaks (the 3 republics?),
plus sunburst and hammer&sickle.
Harald Müller, 08 May 1996
In the reverse of a 1923 banknote there
is the coat of arms of the FSSRT which seems to have been used until 1924, when
it became the Transcaucasian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic (TCFSR).
