Isn't this a beauty

I know this one (Yeah!). It is 500 Rubles from Russia from 1912. I have 3 of them, but two with torn corners. I don't know what it goes for, so if you can add that, it would be interesting.

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.

 

Here's one I just love. I think it is a beautiful note. It obviously is a 1917 dollar from Canada, don't know it's worth or anything. I would never sell this one as I love the look of it in my notebook of notes...

 

One more pic from the Canadian dollar (who is the woman?)

 

Finally (for now), here is one I don't know anything about. I'm grateful for your help...

 

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!

 

i dont have alot of notes from that far back in the day. most of mine are more modern. But that is a cool watermark

 

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...

 

Here are two more. They are German. Any info someone has on them is greatly appreciated.

 

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 mean Amazon.....not Google.

oops

 

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.

 

JNDA Catalog #11-53, issued by the Bank of Japan from 1944 through 1953.

 

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.

The 50 Kopeks note is from Russia. The year of the note is 1915 and it's a Treasury Small Change Notes. The catalog number is P 31a and the price is VG .25, VF 1.00 Unc. 3.50.

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:
