RUSSIA--NORTH CAUCASUS. Government Bank. 50 Rublei, 1918. P-S520Fs. Specimen. PMG About Uncirculated 53.
Stavropol. With serial number and purple stamp on the reverse. This example is the sole note graded for the variety by PMG at the time of cataloging. Scarce, and surely a note that is missing from most Russian paper money collections. This denomination is seldom encountered, and this is the first we can recall handling in our lengthy auction history. We would not be surprised if our high estimate is met or exceeded on this lot. PMG comments "Archival Specimen, Stain." PMG Pop 1/No Others Graded.
From the Ricardo Collection.
Estimate: $500 - $1000
