Russia. Russian Government Treasury Bill Specimen. 30-Nov-17. P-Unlisted. 500,000 Pounds Specimen Treasury Bill from the Russian Government to either another government or entity. Text states "On 29th, November 1918 (without days of grace) the Russian Government promises to pay to________________or order against surrender of this Treasury Bill the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Pounds for value received....London, 30th November 1917, By Delegation of the Ambassador Of Russia In London. Payable at Mess.rs Baring Brothers & Co. Limited, London". Ornate counterfoil engraving on left with Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. imprint. No.01 to No.50. Hand dated Nov. 16, 1917 on upper left. POC's in signature block. I am not certain if this Treasury Bill represents a loan to the Provisional Russian Government of 1917 or to the Soviet "Lenin Government" that was its successor. This could be considered a short term "Government Bond" that was negotiable. Extremely rare Russian Government financial instrument. BWC.
