Does anyone know what this is specifically? It looks like 3 Rubles of some sort. There are three dates on the back but 1957 looks the most likely. I'm guessing Russia because it has CCCP on the reverse. Thanks!   |

You're right its from the USSR. I've never seen it before, however I speak Russian. On the front of the note, on the bottom it says lottery ticket. A quick google search led me to this website I tried to link but apparently it's blocked. This is a description of the note:
Money and clothing lottery was released to the 6 international festival of youth and students in Moscow (July-August 1957). Basically a lottery ticket for 3 rubles

Volga automobile
Moskvich automobile
Piano
Motorcycle
Bicycle
Camera
Television
Accordian
Outboard motor for boat
Rubber boat
Sewing Machine
Clock
Shotgun
And some others....

I came across another interesting Russian note. This one appears to be some sort of coupon for 10 Rubles from 1976. I can't really determine much more though. Is anyone familiar with these?   |

I think it's a Foreign Exchange Note for travellers/visitors to the Soviet Union Jay1234.

Yep, looks like a foreign exchange certificate. Those are not often seen, well, by me anyway.

Thank you for the lead. With that info I was able to determine that it's specifically a foreign exchange certificate from East Siberia.

I had a search on ebay Jay1234 & that exchange note goes for maybe $30-40. Cool item, quite unusual. Yours looks to be in very nice condition too  Edited by ScotsGreyhound
