| Comments |
Chita in 1918 was the administrative seat of the Transbaikal region and briefly the capital of the Far Eastern Republic's precursor governments. The State Bank branch there, cut off from Moscow by civil war and the complete collapse of reliable note supply lines, authorized a series of provisional issues using revenue stamps as the backing medium — a solution also reached independently by several other isolated Siberian branches that year.
Type 2 is distinguished from Type 1 by the overprint or surcharge format; the exact differentiating detail depends on the specific census reference consulted, as Kardakov and Denisov catalog them differently.
