Historically rare numismatic artifact from the Siberian theater of the Russian Civil War: an original 25 Rubles Razmenny Chek (Размѣнный Чекъ Красноярскаго Общества Взаимнаго Кредита), issued circa 1918–1919 in the city of Krasnoyarsk.
Released locally to overcome the severe cash shortages and breakdown of central banking lines during the multi-sided struggle in Siberia, this emergency note features beautiful pre-revolutionary typography and design elements. The central text field states that the amount will be paid in cash from the society's exchange office ("предъявителю сего выдается изъ размѣнной кассы... наличными"). The face is dominated by a giant ornate numeral "25" overprinted with authentic hand-written ink signatures of the Board of Directors, Council Members, and Accountant.
Features:
- 1 single authentic historical Civil War regional banknote/check
- Year of Issue: Circa 1918–1919 (Russian Civil War / Siberian White Government Era)
- Issuer: Krasnoyarsk Mutual Credit Society (Красноярское Общество Взаимного Кредита)
- Denomination: 25 Rubles / Двадцать Пять Рублей
- Layout: Intricate corner rosettes with the numeral "25", complex guilloche background safety patterns, and striking purple center overprint
