This 2-note set features notes from the beginning of Soviet Russia.
In 1919, the fledgling Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic issued the “Babylonian” note, which features an inscription of the Karl Marx quote “Workers of the World, Unite!” in seven languages; Russian, German, French, Italian, Greek, English, Arabic and Chinese.
In 1937, the Soviet Union issued a new series of chervonsky banknotes featuring a portrait of Vladimir Lenin to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution.
Included in this set is one of these “Babylonian” banknotes, a 3 Chervonets note and a Certificate of Authenticity in a billfold.
