| Comments |
The Siberian Provisional Government at Omsk was a short-lived anti-Bolshevik administration that emerged from the chaos following the October Revolution, initially backed by the Czech Legion's grip on the Trans-Siberian Railway. By late 1918 it had been superseded by Kolchak's dictatorship, making the window for legitimate "Provisional" issues extremely narrow. Notes from this period circulated alongside a bewildering variety of competing regional currencies, and public confidence was predictably thin.
Printed locally at Omsk under wartime constraints, the production quality reflects those limitations. Kolchak's subsequent issues eventually displaced these notes entirely.
