Original 10,000 Rubles Treasury Note (Билетъ Государственнаго Казначейства), officially issued in 1919 under the High Command of the Armed Forces of South Russia (Вооруженные Силы Юга России - ВСЮР) led by General Anton Denikin.
Widely celebrated among numismatists by its historical nickname "Kolokolchik" (The Little Bell), this massive high-denomination bill represents the pinnacle of White Guard provisional monetary design. The top center features a powerful engraving of the provisional double-headed eagle rising above a banner inscribed "Единая Россія" (United Russia). The complex layout is flanked by classical patriotic imagery including upright swords wrapped in laurel wreaths, detailed George Cross ribbons, and the printed facsimile signatures of the Finance Administration directors (Bernatzky).

- Year of Issue: 1919 (Russian Civil War / South Russia White Army Era)
