| Comments |
The Mogilev Provincial Treasury began issuing regional scrip in 1918 as central authority collapsed following the October Revolution and the subsequent German occupation of large parts of Belorussia. These notes were stop-gap instruments — the provincial apparatus had to fund itself and maintain minimal economic function while political control over the region shifted repeatedly between Bolshevik, German, and briefly Polish-aligned forces.
Pick S239 falls within a small and poorly documented series. Surviving examples are genuinely scarce, less from wartime destruction than from the sheer brevity of the issuing authority's operational existence.
