A monumental piece of post-World War II Soviet monetary history: an original large-format 100 Rubles Banknote (Билет Государственного Банка СССР), officially dated 1947.
Issued during the famous December 1947 monetary reform under Joseph Stalin, this majestic banknote is highly valued by collectors for its exceptional engraving quality, reminiscent of imperial-era credit notes. The face features a detailed, fine-line engraved portrait of Vladimir Lenin inside an oval laurel wreath framing. The top center prominently displays the post-war State Emblem of the USSR with 16 ribbons representing the sixteen Soviet socialist republics of that era (including the Karelo-Finnish SSR).
Features:
- 1 single authentic vintage Soviet banknote
- Year of Issue: 1947 (Post-WWII Stalin Era)
- Denomination: 100 Rubles / Сто Рублей
- Serial Number / Prefix: ЗЧ 176207 (Stamped twice in red ink)
- Emblem: 16-ribbon Soviet Coat of Arms
- Design: Ornate multi-colored security guilloche geometry and a wide watermark field on the right
- Condition: Circulated historic paper grade, featuring true vintage character, minor natural corner folds, light aging spots at the top right, and clear registration lines as pictured

- Banknote and paper money specialists (bonistics / post-war currency)
- Typography, industrial engraving, and state security print curators
