Maybe worth $5-$10, from a very interesting time in Russian history. I'd keep hold of it. Report this Post to the Staff
rlmstamps2012 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 08/24/2019 5:56 pm Thank you ScotsGreyhound! It was in with some Assyrian papers. I will likely display it in a stamp album or maybe a small frame. I see a lot of 100 year old stamps that have seen harder lives than this banknote. Report this Post to the Staff
