The Committee for the Liberation of the Black Sea Coast was a short-lived anti-Bolshevik formation operating out of Sochi in early 1920, during the final chaotic months of White resistance in the Caucasus. This note belongs to one of the most obscure local emission authorities of the entire Russian Civil War period — a peasant militia treasury issuing paper scrip as the front collapsed around it.
The Pick listing as S541 places it firmly in the "South Russia" local issues category, a catch-all for dozens of emergency authorities that printed currency with no backing and often no future. Circulation radius was almost certainly limited to the immediate Sochi district.
