| 备注 |
One of hundreds of local scrip notes that flooded western Ukraine in 1919 as central authority collapsed between retreating German forces, the short-lived Ukrainian People's Republic, and incoming Bolshevik and Polish armies. Dubno, in Volhynia, changed hands repeatedly during this period, and conventional currency was either hoarded, devalued overnight, or simply unavailable. Consumer cooperatives like "Допомога" filled the gap by issuing their own vouchers, redeemable for goods rather than guaranteed by any monetary authority.
The stamp serves as the only authentication mechanism — no engraved plates, no watermark. Printed locally, almost certainly on whatever stock was at hand.
