| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a single green tone and dominated by a large central oval guilloche medallion bearing the numeral 3 in a bold ornamental script, surrounded by radiating fine-line lathe work. A repetitive Cyrillic legend encircles the oval band, and dense geometric guilloche fills the entire field to the borders. An anti-counterfeiting warning inscription runs along the bottom margin. |

The Siberian Provisional Government at Omsk issued a bewildering variety of notes in 1919 as competing White forces, cooperating only loosely under Kolchak's nominal authority, each printed currency to fund operations across an increasingly fragile front. This 3 Rouble denomination sits in a series that was produced under severe logistical strain — supply lines for paper and ink were unreliable, and the notes circulated alongside Soviet issues, Kerensky-era leftovers, and a dozen other regional emissions in a market that had essentially stopped trusting any of them.
Kolchak's forces collapsed by late 1919. Notes from this administration were rendered worthless almost immediately.
