| Opmerkingen |
The 50,000 Rouble Treasury notes of 1916–1917 were issued under conditions of extreme wartime fiscal stress. Russia's participation in the First World War had shattered conventional monetary discipline, and the State Treasury resorted to massive short-term obligations as the banking system buckled under military expenditure. These were not banknotes in the conventional sense — they functioned as interest-bearing treasury bonds of large denomination, circulating among institutional holders rather than in retail trade.
The "R" suffix in the Pick reference denotes a remainder — unissued stock that never entered circulation, which accounts for the bulk of surviving examples. Genuinely issued and redeemed examples are considerably harder to find.
