| Comments |
The Ural Cossack Army issued its own currency during the Russian Civil War as the region around Uralsk held out against Bolshevik forces — one of the more determined White-aligned Cossack holdouts on the southeastern front. The 300 Rouble denomination is notably high for a local military issue of this period, reflecting the runaway inflation already gutting the purchasing power of Romanov-era notes by mid-1918.
These emissions were provisional by design, never intended to outlast the military situation. When Bolshevik forces finally took Uralsk in early 1920, surviving notes became worthless overnight.
