| Comments |
The Organisation of State Agricultural Warehouses was not a bank and had no formal mandate to issue currency — yet in 1919, with the Russian Far East fragmenting under White Army administration, Kolchak's collapse, and Japanese intervention forces occupying the region simultaneously, even agricultural supply depots found themselves improvising scrip to keep transactions moving. Nikolsk-Ussuriisk sat at a strategically critical rail junction on the Chinese Eastern Railway corridor, which made it both economically active and institutionally chaotic.
Pick S1234 is among the more obscure Far Eastern provisional issues, and surviving examples in any condition are genuinely uncommon. The issuing body dissolved well before any redemption was organized.
