1924 Soviet Union 100 Ruble Pelure Paper
Soviet Union · 1924 · 100 rubles
The stamp features the Soviet Union's state emblem, consisting of a hammer and sickle superimposed on a globe, surrounded by wheat sheaves and topped with a five-pointed star. The denomination '100 РУБ.' is displayed below.
Issued in 1924, this stamp is an early definitive of the Soviet Union, reflecting the new communist state's identity and post-civil war currency reforms. The 'pelure' paper variant is notable for its semi-transparent, thin quality, characteristic of early Soviet printing.
