备注

Libau — the heavily Germanized port city known today as Liepāja — issued emergency municipal currency in 1915 under conditions of acute coin shortage and the looming threat of German advance. The city fell to German forces in May 1915, meaning notes issued that year straddled two administrations: some circulated under Russian Imperial authority, others under German military occupation almost immediately after.

The bilingual naming convention on these notes, citing both "Libava" (Russian) and "Libau" (German), was not decorative — it reflected the genuine administrative ambiguity of a city whose population and commercial life had long been split along linguistic lines. That duality became permanent within weeks of issue.
