| Reverse description | The reverse is framed by an ornate border with decorative knotwork corner pieces enclosing a central cartouche. Within the cartouche, a redemption text in Cyrillic states that these notes are exchangeable for State credit notes rouble for rouble at all credit institutions of the Amur Region, followed by three manuscript signatures with their respective titles. The denomination "РУБ. 100 РУБ." appears at the top, and the anti-counterfeiting warning "Подделка преследуется законом" is printed along the bottom margin. |

The Amur Regional Government was one of dozens of anti-Bolshevik administrations that scrambled to issue local currency during the Russian Civil War, when the ruble system fragmented and central monetary authority collapsed entirely. This 100-rouble note dates from 1918, the same year Bolshevik forces were temporarily expelled from the region and a short-lived autonomous administration took hold in Blagoveshchensk.
Amur regional issues of this period are notoriously poorly documented — printer details, exact issue quantities, and redemption records were largely lost or never kept. Pick S1220 is among the more obscure Far Eastern émigré-period issues, and surviving examples in any condition are genuinely uncommon.
