World Banknotes
Russia, State Credit Notes, a remarkable contemporary forgery of a 100 Rubles, 1898, serial number NK 011364, Konshin signature, exceptional qulity and quite possibly genuine watermark but overall print quality lower than the real note included for comparison, split and rejoined, very good to fine and rare (2 notes)
Pick 5 for type £300-£400
The quality of this forgery leads us to assume that this forgery was produced by the same London forger(s) who produced the famous 'rainbow notes', but to our knowledge very few, if any, of this type have yet surfaced in the UK.
