10 Roubles Armavir

Armavir, a Kuban regional center, briefly hosted a branch of the State Bank during the Civil War period when central authority had effectively collapsed across the Caucasus. Local branches were authorized — or simply compelled by circumstance — to issue their own obligations, and the resulting notes varied considerably in design and printing quality depending on what equipment and paper were locally available. Armavir's issues from 1918 are among the more numerous of the regional South Russian emissions, though the S479 series shows several plate variants, which is what the "C" suffix here designates.

These circulated in a town that changed hands multiple times between Bolshevik and White forces through 1918–1919.
