| Comments |
The Special Corps of the Northern Army was a White force operating in the northwestern theater in 1919, nominally under General Alexander Rodzianko, and its currency issues reflect the improvised financial reality of anti-Bolshevik military administration — no stable banking infrastructure, no guaranteed redemption, and a population that had good reason to doubt both. These notes circulated in a narrow geographic corridor around the Pskov and Narva regions before the Northwestern Army's collapse in late 1919 effectively rendered all such paper worthless.
Pick S220 sits within a small family of denominations issued by this command, and the entire series had a lifespan measured in months.
