Collectible piece of World War I monetary history: the reverse side of an original 50 Kopecks Fractional State Note (Разменный знак), officially issued by the Russian Empire in 1915 under the reign of Tsar Nicholas II.
Introduced as an emergency wartime measure due to the severe hoarding of silver and copper coinage, this small-format paper note functions as a fractional currency. The reverse design features a beautifully engraved baroque cartouche centered around a large denomination numeral "50", flanked by two stylized text inscriptions "50 КОП." set against an intricate geometric security pattern.
Features:
- 1 single authentic historical WWI fractional banknote (Reverse side shown)
- Year of Issue: 1915 (World War I / Late Imperial Romanov Era)
- Denomination: 50 Kopecks (Пятьдесят Копеек)
- Context: Emergency paper money issued to replace silver change coins
- Condition: Circulated historic paper grade showing true vintage character, handling wear, natural age toning, and soft margins as pictured
A fascinating collectible for:
- World War I and military home-front history collectors
- Banknote and paper money specialists (bonistics / fractional currency)
- Pre-revolutionary Russian Empire artifacts and Romanov era enthusiasts
- Ephemera and archival curators looking for genuine examples of wartime inflation currency
The banknote is photographed in full detail against a clean background so collectors can inspect the detailed typography lines, engraving borders, and authentic paper fiber condition. You will receive the exact item shown in the photo.
Please note:
- This is an original vintage/antique wartime paper currency item from 1915, not a modern reprint or copy.
- Natural signs of circulation, soft corners, and edge wear are present due to its age and authentic historic handling.
- Carefully packed flat with protective backing and shipped worldwide from Ukraine.
- Import duties or taxes may apply depending on your country’s regulations.
