RUSSIA--IMPERIAL. State Assignat. 5 Rubles, 1811. P-A8b. PMG Fine 12 Net. Repaired, Pieces Added.
An incredibly difficult pick variety to obtain from this early Russian series of paper money. This example is the sole note encapsulated for the variety by PMG. When this note was issued, Alexander I would have been the Tsar and Napoleon's invasion of Russia was a year off. If this note could talk, we could only imagine the stories it would tell and the history it has witnessed. PMG comments "Repaired, Pieces Added."

Estimate: $2000 - $4000
