Offered is a 1000r note issued in 1919 by the ‘White’ government based in Rostov, PICK#S418b. What sets this example apart is that it is #8 out of a run of 99 000 for the series. Although bearing little trace of overall circulation, this example does suffer from a closed tear at top, and some weakness in the corners. Curiously, this type of use is not unusual for these notes, as inflationary pressures meant that they were largely kept / exchanged in bundles. All in all, a pleasing example which is sure to appeal to Russian specialists, and ‘fancy’ number collectors alike!
