| Comments |
One of several emergency treasury issues from Russia's Far East during the Civil War period, this note was produced by the Sakhalin Oblast Treasury as central banking authority had effectively collapsed east of the Urals. The Provisional Government's fall left regional administrations scrambling to maintain any functioning medium of exchange, and Sakhalin — geographically isolated, economically dependent on fishing and coal — was poorly positioned to sustain that improvisation for long.
The 1918 Sakhalin issues are among the rarer of the Siberian and Far Eastern provisionals. Distance from printing centers almost certainly forced compromises in production quality that made these notes relatively easy to counterfeit.
