| Comments |
The Far Eastern Republic was a short-lived buffer state established in 1920 at Soviet instigation, designed to avoid direct confrontation with Japanese forces occupying the Russian Pacific coast. It functioned as nominally independent until November 1922, when Japanese troops withdrew and the republic was quietly absorbed into Soviet Russia. Its entire monetary existence lasted roughly two years.
Pick S1214 belongs to the 1921 emission, printed under difficult conditions with limited resources. The "S" prefix in the Pick classification reflects its status as a semi-governmental scrip rather than a central bank issue in the conventional sense — the republic never had time to build orthodox financial infrastructure.
Surviving examples frequently show uneven ink distribution, a known characteristic of the 1921 series.
