An authentic historical banknote from the Russian Civil War era, featuring the impressive high-denomination 10,000 Rubles State Credit Note (Государственный Кредитный Билетъ) dated 1918.

Commonly known among collectors as "Pyatakovka" (due to the signature of State Bank Chief Pyatakov), these large-format notes were prepared under the Provisional Government but issued under the early Soviet RSFSR administration.

The design is highly intricate, featuring expansive, complex geometric guilloche rosettes in deep brown, grey, and pastel pink tones. The prominent bold text "ДЕСЯТЬ ТЫСЯЧЪ РУБЛЕЙ" dominates the center, flanked by stylized repeating "10000" numismatic frames. This specific specimen carries the dual serial numbers "БВ 098604" and the signature of Chief Pyatakov alongside the cashier's signature.

Features:

  • Genuine 10,000 Rubles high-denomination banknote
  • Historic "Pyatakovka" series issued during the Russian Civil War
  • Dated 1918
  • Features massive, ornate geometric security rosettes and borders
  • Distinctive "БВ 098604" serial designation printed on both sides
  • Signed by State Bank Governor Georgy Pyatakov
  • Highly detailed collectible paper currency (Bonistics)

A fascinating collectible for:

  • banknote and paper money collectors (bonists)
  • Russian Civil War and early Soviet transition history buffs
  • vintage hyperinflation currency and complex guilloche design enthusiasts
  • historical ephemera and antique paper collections

The banknote is photographed in high detail so you can examine its condition, authentic paper texture, clean borders, and intricate protective mesh engraving.

You will receive the exact banknote shown in the photographs.
