| Comments |
The Crimean Regional Government — one of several competing White-aligned administrations operating on the peninsula in 1918 — issued this note during an exceptionally unstable window between German occupation and the eventual consolidation of Bolshevik control. The regional government itself lasted only months, which kept print runs low and circulation brief.
Pick S370 belongs to a broader class of South Russia emergency issues, many of which were repudiated, counterfeited, or simply abandoned as political authority shifted. Survival rates vary sharply across the series.
