| Comments |
The Krasnoyarsk Yenisei Provincial Society of Mutual Credit was one of dozens of cooperative credit societies forced into emergency note issuance during the Russian Civil War, when the Siberian interior was effectively cut off from any reliable central currency supply. Kolchak's Provisional All-Russian Government was nominally in control of Krasnoyarsk in 1919, but its own paper was distrusted enough that local institutions stepped in with their own obligations.
Mutual credit society notes from this region are among the more ephemeral issues of the period — short print runs, local acceptance only, and rapid obsolescence once the Red Army took Krasnoyarsk in January 1920.
