The "Q" suffix on Pick 31 denotes a contemporary counterfeit — not an officially issued note, but a forgery circulating alongside the genuine article during one of the most chaotic monetary periods in Russian history. By late 1917, the Provisional Government's fiscal position had collapsed, the printing presses in Petrograd were running continuously to meet demand, and the volume of notes in circulation made systematic detection of fakes nearly impossible at the point of exchange.
High-denomination forgeries of this period are genuinely scarce in the catalog record, partly because they were often indistinguishable from genuine issues even by contemporary bank clerks.
