10 Roubles Nord-Ost. Moscow

Arktikugol Trust, the Soviet-era coal mining conglomerate that retained its Arctic concessions on Svalbard after 1991, issued scrip currency for use in the closed Russian settlements of Barentsburg and Pyramiden as a practical necessity — Norwegian kroner circulated outside the mines, but internal company stores required a controlled medium. By 2002, Pyramiden had been largely abandoned following a 1996 air disaster that killed 141 people, most of them miners bound for that settlement, which accelerated its collapse. The "Nord-Ost" designation on this issue distinguishes it geographically within Arktikugol's scrip system.

These tokens were never legal tender under any jurisdiction — Svalbard's treaty status under the 1920 Paris Convention complicated any formal monetary arrangement.
