Value of German and Russian notes

I have these two notes and would be grateful for some advice about how much they might be worth, please. Thank you in advance.

The German note- maybe $5. And, the Peter I 500 rouble is worth approximately $10 (not very much).
Unfortunately, these notes don't really have a high demand.

 

Thank you very much

 

Nice late imperial Russian bill

 

Yes, they were quite beautiful. Also, they had immense buying power during their time period. If a 5 rouble gold coin has a melt value of $189, (according to NGC), then this bill had a buying power of just under $20,000.

 

That's very interesting, thank you

 

I have an UNC German bill that I bought for $7.

The 500 ruble I have I purchased for $12 or $15.

So, bot high value but amazing history and very aesthetically pleasing.

Isn’t it insane that a single piece of paper now worth basically pocket change was once a years salary for a worker? Amazing stuff.
