Early Soviet Banknote Issues

[Zantetsuken]

Wow, very nice. I haven't had much free time, been to busy working

When things slow down in a day or so I want to re visit these.
Thanks for posting them

Thanks again Stefanie. I'm glad you like them. I'm only sorry some of the specimens weren't better. For example, the 1 Billion Ruble note from Transcaucasia is kind of raggy looking. But since it's a rather scarce note, I figured it was better than nothing. If I can find upgrades for any of the poorer notes, I'll replace the images.

Very enjoyable post, more so due to the informative descriptions of the Territorial back and forth of controlling political bodies.

I always thought it was ironic how the Russian Revolution was ushered in due in part to the weariness of the First World War and then resulted in continued fighting well after the world conflict was over.

Very true. Also, you'll notice on a couple of the blocks how the war was taking its toll on the economy. The rampant inflation was very evident between 1922 and 1924, especially in Transcaucasia and Central Asia.

Daniel,
  That's one amazing collection of notes that you have got there.

The Pick Specialised catalogue has a huge listing of notes of Russia during the Russian Civil War,but unfortunately,photos are a bit thin on the ground.

You can find photos of some of the Russian Civil War notes,especially from the Caucasian countries & Central Asia here; http://www.zeno.ru .

Thanks Aidan. Krause's Specialized Issue book is the best reference book in the U.S., for information (actually, one of the only ones) about Russian Civil War Notes. However, like you said it's photo spread is sprarse, but I guess it's better than nothing. I appreciate the heads up. Since the site you mentioned is Russian, it should have some good details. Best regards.

Daniel,
  Zeno is actually in English,not Russian.

If Anton changed the gallery program on Banknotebank & Omnicoin,then the potential for helping out Krause (& other cataloguers) would be huge.

Oops! My bad. When I saw the '.ru' at the end of the link, I assumed it was Russian. In either case is it looks like an interesting site. Thanks again.

This next issue is a 100 Ruble note from the BUKHARA SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC. It's dated 1338 AH/1920 AD, and is one of the first notes issued under the Soviet order in the region.

COOL NOTE!

100 Roubles was not worth very much in 1920,as the Russian Civil War caused the value of the Russian Rouble to get hit by inflation.

There were notes as high as 10,000,000 Roubles.
