| Comments |
Zhytomyr's wartime scrip occupies an awkward place in Ukrainian monetary history — issued under the authority of a State Bank branch during a period when at least four competing governments claimed sovereignty over Volhynia in rapid succession. The "United Bank" designation reflects a short-lived administrative arrangement, not a separate banking institution.
P#S364C is one of several denominations in this local emission, authorized as the national supply of imperial Russian notes collapsed and Kyiv could not reliably distribute replacement currency to provincial centers. Survival rates are uneven across the series — Zhytomyr changed hands repeatedly between Bolshevik, Ukrainian People's Republic, and Polish forces, and much of the local paper stock was either destroyed or simply abandoned.
