| Comments |
The Priamur Provisional Government was a short-lived anti-Bolshevik administration based in Vladivostok, established in May 1921 after a coup backed by White Army remnants — which creates an immediate dating problem with this note. Issues attributed to 1920 predate the formal Priamur government and likely belong to the transitional administrative chaos following the collapse of Kolchak's forces in the Russian Far East, where several competing authorities were printing emergency currency simultaneously.
Japanese occupation forces remained in the region through 1922, and local currency confidence was essentially zero. These notes circulated — if they circulated at all — in a market already saturated with Kolchak rubles, Chinese coins, and Japanese yen.
