A spectacular and highly collectible artifact from the birth of Soviet paper currency: the reverse side of an original 1919 RSFSR 5000 Rubles Raschetny Znak (Расчетный знак).
Issued during the height of the Russian Civil War under severe hyperinflationary conditions, this large-format note is historically famous for its international design. The borders prominently display the iconic communist rallying cry, "Workers of the world, unite!" / "Proletarians of all countries, unite!", beautifully translated into English, German, French, Italian, Chinese, and Arabic. The center showcases the very first official emblem of Soviet Russia (Hammer and Sickle within a wreath of wheat).
Features:
- 1 single authentic vintage early Soviet banknote
- Year of Issue: 1919 (Early RSFSR / Russian Civil War Era)
- Denomination: 5000 Rubles (Пять Тысяч Рублей)
- Design: Famous multilingual "Proletarian" borders surrounding ornate guilloche backgrounds
- Emblems: Early variant of the Hammer and Sickle emblem and anti-counterfeiting text
