100 Roubles Sakhalin

The Sakhalin People's Revolutionary Committee was a short-lived Bolshevik administrative body established on the northern part of Sakhalin Island following the chaotic withdrawal of White forces in 1920. Local emergency issues like this one were a practical necessity — central Soviet currency had no reliable supply route to the island, and trade needed some medium of exchange. The committee had neither the infrastructure nor the time to commission proper printing, which is reflected in the crude execution of this series.

P#S1281 is among the rarest of the Far Eastern civil war locals. The political entity that issued it ceased to exist within months, and surviving notes were not systematically collected in the region.
