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.
