Description

USSR Currency 1000 Ruble Note Series 1991
Cold War Era authentic Soviet Union one thousand ruble note, depicting the father of the Bolshevik Party, and the leader of the October Revolution of 1917, Vladimir Lenin.
The banknotes are from the 1991/92 series, the "Pavlov Reform," and were issued just prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union. The existing 1961 Khrushchev era 50 and 100 ruble bills (see my
other items
) were declared worthless and withdrawn from circulation. In addition to replacing those denominations, new ones in 200, 500 and 1000 rubles were issued. Presented as a means to root out forgeries, ill-gotten-gains, tax cheats and mobsters, the currency reform was, in reality, a revaluation of the ruble. The measures proved to be too little, and too late to save the ruble, and instead became another cause of the dissolution of the USSR.
The denominations of the polyglot notes are printed in Russian, and the official languages of the Soviet Union: Ukrainian, Belarusian, Uzbek, Kazakh, Georgian, Azeri, Lithuanian, Moldovan, Latvian, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Armenian, Turkmen, and Estonian.
The authentic hand selected banknotes are in Good circulated (used) condition. Conditions sound. Notes: paper solid; no big rips, seps, fold cracks, and
no
funky aroma. Will have slight edge wear, occasional staple hole, and other signs of use; may show creases and folds; minor surface dirt, notations, and/or small stains; Details clear. Examples are pictured above. Good for students, educators, collectors. Great at flea markets, swap meets, and rummage sales. Makes a nice gift pack for the old cold warrior, or history buff in your life! Serial numbers and dates will vary, but the Quality will not!
