Antique Banknote 1909 Russian Imperial 10 Rubles Vault Relic Art Currency

Step into the twilight of the Romanov dynasty with this authentic 1909 Russian Imperial 10 Rubles State Credit Note. This stunning piece features a pristine, unfolded central field paired with incredible natural-edge character. It is a spectacular addition for any collector of social history, European monarchs, or obsolete paper ephemera.

Serial: Nb 189242

Security: Highly complex, multi-layered geometric background underprints and a beautiful, full-page repeating-pattern watermark of the number 10 running throughout the cotton-fiber paper.

Size: 174 x 105 mm

Condition: This piece features no fold marks or handling creases across its face, meaning the paper has remained perfectly flat for over a century. It possesses a true "vault-find" character with heavy stack edge toning, oxidation, and foxing that naturally developed along the exposed perimeters over generations. The outer edges are brittle with natural chipping, small splits, and a notable missing corner piece, while the protected inner core remains exceptionally crisp, clean, and flat.

This is an authentic banknote. Use the zoom tool to inspect the photos for a detailed view of the condition.
