CA$95.00

Issued during the turbulent years of the Russian Civil War, this 1919 100 Rubles Treasury note was released by the Rostov-on-Don branch of the State Bank under the White Russian administration in South Russia.

The obverse features a classical warrior figure holding a banner alongside allegorical statuary imagery symbolizing strength and national identity. The reverse displays ornate imperial-style ornamentation with bold denomination panels and the date 1919, reflecting the fractured monetary system of the period.

These Civil War issues circulated alongside numerous regional emissions as Imperial Russia collapsed and competing governments attempted to stabilize currency in their territories. Notes from Rostov-on-Don are particularly desirable due to their historical association with anti-Bolshevik forces and the chaotic monetary conditions of the time.
