| Comments |
The Sakhalin Oblast People's Revolutionary Committee was a short-lived Soviet authority established in the chaotic period following the collapse of Kolchak's White forces in the Russian Far East. This 1 Rouble note belongs to an extremely limited local emission produced under conditions of near-total administrative and economic collapse — Japanese forces occupied northern Sakhalin from 1920 until 1925, and the Committee's actual territorial control was tenuous at best.
The S1276 series is among the rarer Far Eastern revolutionary emissions. Given the circumstances of issue and the near-certain destruction of most examples through the upheavals of the subsequent years, survivors in any condition are genuinely uncommon.
