| Comments |
The P#56 100 Roubles belongs to the long-running State Credit Note series that the Russian Imperial Treasury issued through the early twentieth century, with this particular type running from 1910 into the war years. What makes 1913-dated examples worth noting is their proximity to the Romanov tercentenary — 1913 was a year of intense dynastic celebration, though no commemorative modifications were made to the circulating note series itself.
These notes circulated hard through the First World War and into the revolutionary period, which is why genuinely pre-war-condition examples are uncommon. The series was formally invalidated by Soviet decree in 1922 during the monetary reorganization that ended the ruble inflation spiral.
