| Comments |
The Terek Soviet Republic existed for less than a year — proclaimed in January 1918 and overrun by Denikin's White forces by early 1919. Its currency, including this 100 Rouble note, was issued under extreme duress by a government fighting simultaneously against White Army units, Cossack atamans, and various Caucasian nationalist factions. Notes were produced locally with whatever printing resources were available, which accounts for the crude execution seen across the series.
P#S535 falls within the broader category of Transcaucasian emergency issues that Soviet catalogers long dismissed as peripheral. Surviving examples are scarcer than their obscurity suggests.
