| Comments |
The RSFSR's 1919 note issues came out of a period when Goznak was printing money faster than the economy could absorb it — hyperinflation was already underway, and denominations that seemed adequate in early 1919 were functionally worthless within months. This series was part of a broader collapse in purchasing power so severe that by 1921 the Soviet government was issuing notes in the millions of roubles for routine transactions.
P#89 retains a watermark, a security feature that would largely disappear from Soviet emergency issues as the civil war dragged on and production pressures made such refinements impractical.
