RSFSR 7500 Rubles Overprint (Lomonosov)

Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic · 1922 · 7500 rubles

The stamp features a profile portrait of Mikhail Lomonosov, a prominent Russian scientist, within an oval frame. The original 100 rubles denomination is overprinted with '7500 РУБ.' in black.

Issued during a period of severe hyperinflation in Soviet Russia, this stamp is an overprint on an earlier definitive issue from the 'Science and Arts' series. The overprint reflects the rapidly changing postal rates and economic instability of the early 1920s.
