Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic · 1922 · 20000 rubles
The stamp features the emblem of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR), consisting of a hammer and sickle surrounded by wheat sheaves, topped with a star. The denomination '20000 РУБ.' is at the bottom, and 'Р.С.Ф.С.Р.' is at the top.
