| Comments |
Ekaterinodar — present-day Krasnodar — served as the capital of the Kuban People's Republic and a key White movement stronghold during the Russian Civil War. The State Bank branch there began issuing its own notes in 1918 when the breakdown of central authority made supply from Petrograd impossible. The 300 Rouble denomination is notably high for a regional emergency issue, reflecting the accelerating inflation that was already gutting the value of Kerensky-era and early Soviet currency circulating simultaneously in the same territory.
Multiple variants exist for this series — the "D" suffix in the Pick reference indicates a specific printing or paper distinction within what is otherwise a closely related family of Ekaterinodar issues.
