Collectible artifact from the early formation of the Soviet Union: an original 100 Rubles State Currency Note (Государственный денежный знак), officially dated 1923.
Issued during the final stages of the post-revolutionary monetary consolidation period (the "Sovznak" era), this banknote is deeply prized by historians and numismatists. It features a masterful, dense brown and tan baroque guilloche scrollwork pattern framing the text block. The top center displays the very first official State Emblem of the USSR featuring 6 ribbons wrapping the wheat ears. The face also preserves the authentic printed signatures of the legendary People's Commissar of Finance, Grigory Sokolnikov, and the cashier, A. Sapunov.
