Historical numismatic collection featuring four (4) original "Raschetny Znak" (Settlement Token) banknotes issued by the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) in 1921. Popularly known among collectors as "Sovznaki" (совзнаки), these early revolutionary paper issues were printed during the final chapters of the Russian Civil War and the transition to the NEP period.
The set showcases the diverse color palettes and geometric styles of early Soviet emergency printing, each note bearing the first official RSFSR coat of arms (Hammer and Sickle within a wreath/shield) and the famous inscription "Обеспечивается всем достоянием Республики" (Backed by all property of the Republic).
Features:
- Set of 4 original vintage early Soviet banknotes
- Issue year: 1921 (Russian Civil War / Early Revolutionary era)
- Issuer: Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (Р.С.Ф.С.Р.)
- Features intricate guilloche frames and classic early Soviet state iconography
- Circulated, authentic historical condition with natural edge wear, handling lines, and genuine aged paper patina
The set includes banknotes with denominations such as:
- 100 Rubles (Сто Рублей): Vibrant orange/yellow layout with distinct typography.
- 250 Rubles (Двести Пятьдесят Рублей): Dark green/olive tones with a prominent central value frame.
- 500 Rubles (Пятьсот Рублей): Multi-colored greyish-blue and yellow notes with dual value medallions.
