10 Kopecks Special Corps of Northern Army under General Rodzianko

The Special Corps of the Northern Army under General Alexander Rodzianko was one of several White anti-Bolshevik formations operating in the northwestern theatre in 1919, fighting out of the Estonian and Latvian borderlands toward Petrograd. Local military scrip of this type was a practical necessity — regular Tsarist-era currency had collapsed in utility across the region, and the corps could not rely on a functioning central supply chain for monetary instruments. These fractional kopek denominations were effectively a field solution to the problem of small-change transactions in a war zone.

The issuing authority itself was short-lived. By late 1919, following the failure of the October offensive on Petrograd, the corps disintegrated rapidly, which cut short any extended circulation of these notes.
