The Special Corps of the Northern Army under General Alexander Rodzianko was one of several White Russian forces operating out of the Estonian-Russian borderlands during 1919, coordinating — loosely, and often badly — with the Northwestern Army under Yudenich. These small regional commands frequently issued their own scrip out of necessity, with no central treasury, no reliable supply line, and no guarantee of redemption. Rodzianko's corps was dissolved and absorbed into Yudenich's command by mid-1919, giving this note an extraordinarily short window of legitimate issue.
