You can see One roubel 1898. It was made during the Nicolas II reign (1894-1917). In 1898 he was a 29-years old.

 

3 roubels 1905. It was a very hard times for Russia: defeat in Russian-Japanese War, First Russian Revolution...

 

5 roubels 1909. It was a good times in Russia. P.M. Piter Stolipin supressed revolutoinary activity. It was the time of the "Stolipin"s ties" (that mean - "gallows"). Many gallows, but very calm time. Stolipin is very popular in Russian History now.

 

10 roubles 1909. The same times, the same events...

 

25 roubels 1909. Portrait of Alexander III the "Peace Maker" (1881-1894), father of Nicolas II.

 

Very nice! The 5 roubels 1909 is my favorite.

 

Thanks. But a few scans is not-a-good quality...

 

After the February Revolution in 1917, the Temporary Government in Russia issued a new paper tokens. You see the 20 roubels and 40 roubels tokens.

 

But official paper money circulated too. Yoy can see a 250-roubles banknote.

 

Terrific notes!!

 

1000 roubles 1917, Provisional Government.

 

I am so sorry but my scaner can"t increase this pictures

 

And that is why I must finished my post:computer:

 

Nice notes, I always enjoy pics!

 

Do you mind if I join in posting pictures on your thread?

Some of your notes and explanations are a bit inaccurate. For example, your 1 Rouble "1898" is not, actually. It is a 1917 Provisional/Soviet re-issue of the 1 Rouble banknote, used for a few years by the Soviets. You can tell because you have a very short serial number - the Soviets issued those Roubles with just a series number, not the full long serial.

Second, your 5 Rouble "1909" again is not 1909. It is a 1915 re-issue, again because of the serial. The 5 Rouble notes with a Shipov signature and long full serial are 1912-1917, while 5 Rouble notes with a Konshin signature are 1909-1912.

You skipped over the 50 Rouble note, 100 Rouble note, and 500 Rouble notes the most beautiful in the series.

 

A few more













When my new scanner arrives I will get some more scanned and up

 

I have one of the old imperial 10 rouble banknotes, as well.

 

I do have a number of sig variations asell with some of my notes and as I say once I get my new scanner I realy must begin posting them again

 

Beautiful notes, guys! I'd love to know more about the printing of those multicolor ones, De Orc.
