A visually striking and highly desirable piece of early Soviet monetary history: an original 5000 Rubles Raschetny Znak (Расчетный знак РСФСР), issued in 1921 during the chaotic and hyperinflationary period following the Russian Revolution and during the final stages of the Civil War.
This large-format banknote features incredible, dense background patterns completely filled with micro-printed "5000" numerals to prevent counterfeiting. The face showcases ornate early Soviet typography, the official RSFSR references, and authentic signatures of the People's Commissar of Finance (Народный комиссар финансов), Nikolai Krestinsky, and the cashier, L. Ovchinnikov.
Features:
- 1 single authentic vintage early Soviet banknote
- Year of Issue: 1921 (Early RSFSR / Civil War Era)
- Denomination: 5000 Rubles / Пять Тысяч Рублей
- Layout: Ornate vertical columns framing the side denominations, thick borders, and heavy background safety meshes
- Signatures: N. Krestinsky and L. Ovchinnikov
- Condition: Circulated historic paper grade showing true vintage character, full untrimmed borders, handling folds, soft edges, and natural color aging as pictured
A fascinating collectible for:
- Soviet Union, RSFSR, and communist revolution history collectors
- Banknote and paper money specialists (bonistics / inflation currency)
- Graphic design, security printing, and early 20th-century engraving curators
- Russian Civil War and early 1920s European history enthusiasts
The banknote is photographed in full detail against a clean background so collectors can closely inspect the background pattern density, official text plates, and edge wear. You will receive the exact item shown in the photo.
