| Reverse description | The reverse is largely plain with sparse printed Cyrillic text, partially legible, referencing the monetary instrument and legal provisions against counterfeiting.

The Terek-Daghestan Territory was a short-lived anti-Bolshevik administrative entity established in the North Caucasus in early 1918, and its currency reflects exactly how provisional the arrangement was. The region fragmented almost immediately under pressure from competing Bolshevik, Cossack, and Mountaineer factions, meaning these notes circulated in genuine chaos — multiple local governments were issuing paper simultaneously, often within the same geographic area.
P#S522 belongs to one of the more obscure corners of the Russian Civil War emissions. Attribution to specific print runs is difficult; the territory lacked stable printing infrastructure, and documentation from the period is fragmentary at best.
