State Credit Note, Russia, 250 Rubles, 1918, serial number AA031, with an overprint of an Eastern European hand gesture, used to communicate a refusal to help or give aid to a person, or for other offensive intentions. In other cultures, the gesture is vulgar and offensive. Here, it is used as propaganda against the Bolshevist takeover. This note should be of interest to a serious collector who will conserve it for prosperity
(Pick 93, Ryabch 1113), very fine, ''Property of a British Gentleman"
