<p>[QUOTE="Rhino89, post: 1015109, member: 21773"]Most collectors collect based on the secretary signature, not so much the second one, so I'm not sure about the rarity of Rodionov. BUT, Shipov is a common one. The interesting thing about your note is that it has what's considered a "long" serial (meaning more than 3 digits) which means that your note was printed between 1912 and 1917 while the Czar was still in power. The date on the note says 1909, but the date on Russian imperial notes was never changed from the original year the note's design was first introduced.</p><p> </p><p>You'll see identical notes around that have a short serial of only 3 digits with a Shipov signature - those were actually issued after the Czar lost power. Those notes were either printed by the Soviets or the Provisional Government (the difference is in the 3-digit serial number).</p><p> </p><p>Finding lists and information about notes is definitely difficult, especially resources in English.
