 A fantastic set of early Russian notes from around the turn of the 19th/20th century. These fascinating notes date back to the time when Russia was ruled by Tsar Nicholas II. The four notes in the set are as follows: Pick ref. 15 - 1 Rouble, 1898. Pick ref. 9c - 3 Roubles, 1905. Pick ref. 35a - 5 Roubles, 1909. Pick ref. 11c - 10 Roubles, 1909. The notes are all in VF+ to EF condition. Reference: RUSSIA 002 Price: £6.00  In 1917, following the revolution, the provisional central Government in Russia issued a series of three notes - these being for 5, 250 and 1000 Roubles. The 5 Roubles used the same plates as the earlier Tsarist issue dated 1909 but had just series numbers rather than a full serial number. The higher denominations of 250 and 1000 Roubles were of a new design. The notes were quickly replaced in 1918 by a new series of State Treasury notes and were soon withdrawn from circulation. The notes in this set are in VF to good VF condition. Reference: RUSSIA 003 Price: £4.00
