The North Caucausus region in southern Russia was no exception to the rule, but while much of the paper money was often issued by civil authorities or the military, this particular 50 ruble note was issued by a commercial concern, in this case the Vladikavkaz Railroad Company. During 1918 they issued some of the loveliest designed notes into circulation in that region from Rostov-Na-Donu and into the Caucausus mountains. This particular note features a partly robed young maiden and a locomotive and a fascinating map of the railroads routes on the reverse. This particular note is S-593.</b></p> </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
