Russia 1905 3 Roubles Currency Note With Folder

Stolen Currency of the Czars?

While the autocratic regime of Russia’s Czar Nicholas II didn’t crumble until World War I, the cracks had already begun to show a decade earlier. Bolsheviks bent on overthrowing the government realized that they needed cold hard cash to accomplish their goals. But how to get the money? Rob a bank, of course. So, on June 27, 1907, a minority faction of Bolsheviks held up a stagecoach transporting 341,000 rubles — about $3.5 million in today’s dollars. Forty people were killed during the heist and another 50 were injured due to bomb blasts and gunfire. Aside from the bad public relations spawned by the robbery’s death and destruction, the result of the heist failed to meet objectives. That’s because most of the money was in 5,000-ruble banknotes. These were extremely large denominations and impossible to spend without attracting attention.

Now, more than a century later, you can grab your own share of the loot with these Russia 1905 3 Rubles Currency Notes. These would have been the notes that the Bolsheviks could have spent without attracting the attention of government agents. In fact, in the aftermath of the heist, several Bolshevik operatives were seized and taken into custody for trying to spend the larger notes!

Artistic Paper Currency of Czar Nicholas II

These Russian currency notes were issued in the early days of the 20th century, when Czar Nicholas II ruled over Imperial Russia. The artistry of these notes is so beautiful, you’ll want to frame them and put them on your wall. Even after more than 115 years, the colors on these notes are still vibrant thanks to the fact that they only circulated lightly before being stashed away.

Interestingly, while Czar Nicholas II was violently overthrown during the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, these notes continued to be not just used, but printed as well! Normally, such an abrupt change in a nation’s government results in new legal tender being circulated as a symbol of the new status quo. Perhaps these 3 Rubles Currency Notes were simply too beautiful to give up! Each comes in a protective display folder with an informative storycard. Relive the revolution and order now!
