| Anmerkungen |
The February Revolution left Russia's provisional government in urgent need of high-denomination paper to fund a collapsing war effort and an increasingly worthless currency. This 10,000-ruble note was among the largest denominations issued by the State Treasury in 1917, at a moment when the ruble was hemorrhaging value so fast that such figures, unthinkable before the war, barely covered routine transactions by year's end.
Printed at the State Printing House in Petrograd, it belongs to a series produced entirely within Russia — unlike earlier Tsarist issues that relied on foreign security printers. The guilloche underprint work was executed locally, a reflection of improved domestic capacity but also of the practical impossibility of sending engraving work abroad during wartime.
The Bolsheviks inherited large stocks of these notes after October and continued issuing them unchanged into 1918.
