The Soviet coup took place in November 1918. I can't believe that within two months, they put out their own currency. It would take longer than that to design it, make the plates and print the notes.

You're probably right, the Soviets wouldn't use the two-headed eagle.

Minor correction. It was November 1917 (October 1917 under the old Russian Calendar).
