| Comments |
The Ural Cossack Army issued its own currency in 1918 as the Bolsheviks pushed east and the Host's traditional autonomy came under direct military threat. These notes circulated in the Ural river region between Orenburg and the Caspian — territory the Cossacks had controlled for centuries and were then actively defending against Red Army forces. The denomination is unusually high for a regional military emission of this period, suggesting inflationary pressure was already severe by the time the series was authorized.
Kirpichnikov and Fomichev represented the dual military-civil structure the Host maintained even under siege conditions. The government that signed these notes ceased to function by early 1920.
