An authentic historical banknote from the Russian Empire, featuring the 50 Rubles State Credit Note (Государственный Кредитный Билетъ) from the classic 1899 series template, issued during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II.

This beautiful piece of Imperial currency is highly sought after for its exceptional artistic engraving. The left side features a magnificent, highly detailed oval portrait of Emperor Nicholas I in full military uniform. The top right displays the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle coat of arms.

This specific note represents the later printing of this series, featuring the historic signature of the last Imperial State Bank Governor, Ivan Shipov (Управляющій И. Шиповъ, in office 1914–1917), and carries the dual serial numbers "АС 255531".

  • Genuine 50 Rubles denomination

  • 1899 WWI-era issue (printed during the Shipov administration)
  • Signed by Governor Ivan Shipov (Управляющий Шипов)

The banknote is photographed in high detail so you can examine its condition, authentic paper aging, crisp engraving portrait lines, and historical signatures.

You will receive the exact banknote shown in the photographs.
