| Comments |
The Terek Republic was a short-lived Bolshevik-aligned state in the North Caucasus, declared in early 1918 and extinguished by 1919 as Denikin's White forces swept through the region. Its Soviet of People's Commissars issued emergency currency under chaotic conditions, with printing resources improvised locally rather than drawn from any established security printing infrastructure. The result is a crudely produced note by the standards of the period.
Surviving examples are genuinely scarce — the Terek Republic's collapse was rapid, and much of its paper currency was either destroyed in fighting or lost to the instability that consumed the region through 1919 and into the Civil War's final convulsions.
