| Beschrijving voorzijde | The face presents a symmetrical layout with the municipal coat of arms of Libau (Liepāja) centrally placed, surrounded by ornamental guilloche borders and decorative corner pieces. The denomination '10 Rubel' appears both at centre and in each corner, with the issuing authority's name running along the upper and lower margins. A formal text block in German Gothic script occupies the lower portion of the note, stating the city's obligation to redeem the instrument after the war's conclusion. |

| Opmerkingen |
Libau — today's Liepāja — was occupied by German forces in May 1915, but this note was issued by the city's own administration before the German takeover, as Russian Imperial authority collapsed across the Baltic littoral under the pressure of the summer offensives. Municipal emergency money of this kind filled the vacuum left by the flight of Russian state institutions and the near-total disappearance of metal coin from circulation.
The rubel denomination is telling — the city was still legally within the Russian monetary system at the moment of printing, even as that system was ceasing to function locally.
