| Additional information |
The Chinese Eastern Railway was built between 1897 and 1903 under a concession extracted from the Qing government following the First Sino-Japanese War, and Harbin grew from a near-empty riverbank settlement into a city of over 100,000 people almost entirely because of it. Russian engineers, administrators, and their families formed the core of Harbin's early population, creating an enclave that outlasted the Romanovs, survived the Soviet absorption of the railway in 1924, and persisted as a distinct cultural community well into the 1930s.
This rouble belongs to a commemorative series issued by the Bank of Russia honoring historic Russian railway stations.
