Armavir, a town in the Kuban region, briefly hosted a functioning branch of the State Bank during the chaotic early months of the Russian Civil War. In 1918, when central monetary authority had effectively dissolved, regional branches were left to issue their own emergency money — not by authorization so much as by necessity. The Armavir issues are notable for being among the more localized of these provincial emissions, reflecting a period when the Kuban itself was contested between Bolshevik forces and the White Volunteer Army.
The S-prefix in the Pick reference places this within the specialized Russia Civil War catalogue, a designation that understates just how many competing authorities were printing money simultaneously across the former empire.
