Historical numismatic collection featuring four (4) original vertical "State Currency Tokens" (Государственный денежный знак) issued by the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) in 1922. Popularly known among collectors as "Sovznaki" (совзнаки), these distinctive vertical banknotes were printed during the stabilization and early NEP period following the height of the Russian Civil War.

This collectible small-format set features individual, vibrant monochrome design themes for each denomination. Every token showcases the early RSFSR coat of arms emblem (Hammer and Sickle within a shield surrounded by a wreath), the iconic anti-forgery warning "Подделка преследуется по закону" (Forgery is prosecuted by law) at the bottom, and ornate background guilloche work.

Features:

  • Set of 4 original vintage early Soviet banknotes
  • Issue year: 1922 (Early Soviet / NEP transitional era)
  • Issuer: Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (Р.С.Ф.С.Р.)
  • Rare vertical design variant with dense security engraving and Soviet state iconography
  • Circulated, authentic historical condition with natural edge softening, light handling marks, and genuine aged paper patina

The set includes banknotes with denominations such as:

  • 3 Rubles (Три Рубля): Deep green monochrome layout with a central numeric value medallion.
  • 5 Rubles (Пять Рублей): Dark blue/grey tones featuring the early RSFSR state emblem at the top.
  • 10 Rubles (Десять Рублей): Vibrant red/crimson design with a framed central numerical marker.
  • 25 Rubles (Двадцать Пять Рублей): Rich chocolate brown tones with a detailed ornamental border.

A fascinating collectible for:

  • bonists, paper money, and early Soviet currency collectors
  • Russian Civil War and Bolshevik revolutionary history enthusiasts
  • historical framing, educational museum displays, or archival portfolios
  • unique investments in authentic centennial emergency ephemera

The banknotes are photographed in detail so collectors can closely inspect the paper quality, text layout, alignment, and preservation.

You will receive the exact collection shown in the photos.

Please note:

  • This is a 100% original vintage paper money set from 1922, not a modern reprint or facsimile.
  • Due to their age and the nature of early Soviet emergency printing mills, minor handling creases or corner softening are normal.
  • Carefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine.
  • Import duties or taxes may apply depending on your country’s regulations.
