Taiwan 1 Yuan 1961 P971b AUnc

These 5000 roubles were issued in 1919 in Southern Russia (PS419) At the time, Southern Russia was under the command of General Denikin. They are quite large. On one side we find a double headed eagle and the head of Mercury. On the back, St George stands with a shield with a cityscape behind. Available in several grades

We have always loved these 500 roubles featuring Peter the Great. They are dated 1912 and are amongst the last notes issued by Tsarist Russia before the Russian Revolution of 1917 swept away all vestiges of Imperial Rule.(P14) They are huge- measuring 270mm x 125mm. At the time, they represented an equally huge amount of money. They feature an imposing portrait of Peter the Great on the back and in the watermark. Peter the Great built Russia’s Navy and founded St Petersburg, the Venice of the North. These are lovely examples in Crisp EF/GEF.
