| Comments |
Łódź in 1915 was under German occupation, its textile industry largely commandeered, and its pre-war commercial infrastructure scrambling to maintain basic economic function. This note was issued jointly by the Elders' Assembly of Łódź Merchants and the Łódź Exchange Committee — not a bank, not a municipal authority, but a coalition of the city's own trading class attempting to keep local commerce liquid in the absence of stable circulating currency.
The rubel denomination reflects the Tsarist monetary system still nominally in use across occupied Russian Poland at that point, before the Germans introduced their own occupation currency later in the war.
