Nikolai Yudenich's Northwest Army came within sight of Petrograd's church spires in October 1919 before being driven back by Red Army counterattacks. This note was issued by the Field Treasury attached to that force — a military scrip operation, not a conventional bank, functioning under the political umbrella of the Northwest Government established at Tallinn in August 1919 with Estonian backing.
Lianozov served briefly as Prime Minister of that government. Both signatures on this note belong to men who would be in emigration within months of its printing.
