A stunning, large-format regional masterpiece from the Russian Civil War era: an original 100 Don Rubles banknote (Сто Рублей), officially issued in 1918 by the Rostov-on-Don Office of the State Bank (Ростовская н-Д. Контора Государственного Банка).
Highly prized by collectors for its brilliant artistic design, this currency was produced to stabilize Southern Russia's economy during the revolution. The central vignette features a fine-line engraved portrait of the legendary Cossack Ataman Ermak Timofeevich in a medieval helmet. To the right stands an elegant allegorical female figure symbolizing Russia, leaning on a crest, while the left features the 1917 Provisional Government's double-headed eagle. It bears the official printed signatures of Governor Gulbin and the cashier.
