| Obverse description | The obverse is based on the standard Imperial Russian 100-rouble State Credit Note design, centred on an allegorical female figure seated in fine intaglio engraving, her hair wreathed with wheat and flowers, holding a sheaf of grain and resting beside a basket of produce. Large ornate '100' numerals occupy guilloche cartouches at left and right, flanking the central vignette, with the date 1918 also present. The heading 'ГОСУДАРСТВЕННЫЙ КРЕДИТНЫЙ БИЛЕТЪ' runs across the top, and 'СТО РУБЛЕЙ' appears in a decorative panel at the base, above manuscript signature lines for the Manager and Cashier. |

| Comments |
The Priamur Regional Government was one of several competing anti-Bolshevik administrations that emerged in the Russian Far East following the collapse of the Kolchak regime. Based in Vladivostok, it operated in a narrow coastal strip kept alive partly by Japanese military presence — a dependence that shaped every political decision it made from 1920 onward.
This note belongs to an issue produced under genuinely chaotic conditions, with multiple competing currencies circulating simultaneously in the region, including Kerensky-era rubles, Siberian issues, and Japanese military scrip. The Priamur government collapsed in late 1922 when Japanese forces withdrew, and unspent stocks of these notes were largely abandoned rather than formally redeemed.
