5 Kopecks Special Corps of Northern Army under General Rodzianko

The Special Corps of the Northern Army was one of several White Army formations operating in the northwestern theater against Bolshevik forces in 1919, with General Alexander Rodzianko commanding after taking over from Count Arseny Pahlen. Like most White émigré military formations, the Corps faced chronic supply and funding shortages, and these small-denomination notes were issued out of operational necessity — not through any functioning banking infrastructure, but as field scrip to pay troops and procure local goods in the Pskov and Petrograd approaches.

The Corps was effectively dissolved by late 1919 following the failure of the autumn offensive on Petrograd, making the circulation window for these notes extremely brief.
