| Additional information |
The Chinese Eastern Railway (CER) token series, issued under Russian state authority, commemorates the network built between 1897 and 1903 through Manchuria as a strategic shortcut for the Trans-Siberian line. Qiqihar — then known to Russians as Tsitsikar — served as a key administrative node along the northern branch, and Russian settlement there predated the formal opening of the line itself.
The CER was jointly administered until the Soviets sold their stake to Manchukuo in 1935 under Japanese pressure, effectively ending Russian operational control after nearly four decades.
