Default Know some old Russian? - 02-07-2008, 05:39 PM
A friend says her grandfather had these and I have been tasked with finding out more about them. I know they are Finnish, they are in russian, but i can make any good translations since some of the characters arent in use anymore. maybe some of you guys that are closer to that general area than i can help me out

the actual size is about 4x6 give or take. I doubt its money based on all the writing, that and i can find examples of money used in that era and they look nothing like that.

Does indeed look like money. Maybe some kind of memorial bill?

Any info you got on it would help, you know.

:EDIT: As I suspected, its just rubels from the early 1900's Russia.
