<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rhino89, post: 4510889, member: 21773&quot;]I&#039;m a bit late to the party, but whenever I see a Russian note posted I try to jump in with a little extra info you wouldn&#039;t find in references like the SCWPM.</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on your serial number, your note has an added &quot;twist&quot;... so even though the note is dated &quot;1910&quot;, that&#039;s the date that this design was first created. Notes that looked like this were first released to the public in 1911. But going back to your serial number, your note was printed by the RSFSR (Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) sometime between end of 1917 and 1920. When the communists overthrew the Provisional Government (which itself took over after the Czar was overthrown), they weren&#039;t ready to print their own money. So they used the Imperial plates. The clue is in the serial number, which Russian-language references use to differentiate the printing authority in a way that SCWPM doesn&#039;t. These notes were considered legal tender until October 1st, 1922.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
