Now available, original Rubles from the Soviet Union. These rubles were previously on display at the KGB Museum in New York City. They were showcased to demonstrate how the KGB used cash for operational funds.
When the KGB museum closed in 2020 during the pandemic shutdown, all their artifacts were auctioned off, including these rubles.
This set includes one bill each in the following denominations:
- 1 руб
- 3 руб
- 5 руб
-10 руб
-25 руб
These notes are from the 1961 and 1991 series. All available banknotes are well worn, having passed through many hands and many transactions over the years before they made their way into the KGB museum's collection. It's hard to imagine all the ways they might have been used during the Cold War.
Although Soviet rubles are available elsewhere, these are the only available rubles in the world with provenance from a KGB museum display. Get yours now before they're gone.
