Russia 1919 P-39Bs PMG About UNC 55 EPQ 50 Rubles (Specimen)
Printed by the American Banknote Company, the artistry and colors on this specimen are unlike any other Russian notes of this era. This denomination was issued in extremely limited numbers (until recently issued examples were unknown to exist), making specimens such as this the only collectable option available to collectors. Some handling near the top limits the grade on this one (probably due to having been placed in an undersized holder at some point) but the eye-appeal is excellent and this would make for a good representative in an advanced Russian collection.
PMG population in 55 EPQ: 2 (5 Finer)
