Is anyone else as impressed with the watermark on the 1912 Russian? Was that commonplace back then or way ahead of it's time? I accidently found it when turning the page and wow, it is just so nice!

Found some facts on the 1917 Canadian Dollar:

This note features Princess Patricia, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and patron of the famous Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry Regiment. The Duke was Canada’s Governor General from 1911 to 1916.

Cool. I couldn't find a value for it in my searches though...

bobbeth87... might i suggest you pick up a set of the Krause publications? There are 3 books in the set, and they would be invaluable to you for looking up all your notes It seems to me you have quite the extensive and diverse collection

From where? Google?

Yes, My collection is quite diverse and it probably would be good to get me something. I'd like to get something that won't run me a bunch of $, though I'll pay a moderate amount....

I know very little about world currency, as evidenced by the fact that I may do a similar thread to this (or even borrow it if you don't mind...) for some that I have. I can say for sure that the man on the 1912 is Peter the Grest though... Not as sure about the woman on the bill though both history and folklore are failing me right now.... Kinda speaks to the popularity of the tsars at that point that the Romanov on that bill had been dead for about 200 years at that point though...

amazon has them, and you can get slightly older versions for next to nothing. Ebay has them, even the krause bookstore has them, but they are full priced. Standard catalog of world paper money ... very nice books to have

are the new currency books coming with CDs like the coin books? I love that I can copy that disc on to my computer and not have to lug the phonebook around with me.

The two German notes in Post #49 are notgeld from the city of Cologne (Koln). They are part of a large issue from Cologne. The signature is that of Konrad Adenauer who was mayor of Cologne. He was the Chancellor of West Germany in the 1960-70s.

The notes are common and only worth a buck or two.

I'm pretty sure that it is Peter the Great, though I don't know who the woman is. But LOOOK AT THAT WATERMARK in the blank area (3rd picture). That is quite impressive to me, for 1912.
This is a 500 Rubles note from Russia and it's a State Credit Note. The catalog number for this note is # P 14b. Your note has the signature of Shipov which is the more common of the 2 signatures on this type of note. If the note would have had the signature of Konshin it would have been worth more. Price VG 1.50, VF 4.00, Unc 15.00. The woman would be an allegory of Russia. Hope this helps.

That is interesting about the signatures. As I said, I have 3 of these notes. the other two have a ripped corner unfortunately. However, in looking at the notes, all three have different signatures. Any of these the more valuable one?

Here they are (the first one the one from the original one:
