This item is both of general numismatic and more specific Iranian cultural interest. This is the first Russian bank-note ever issued, to the value of 1 Ruble, and bears the Russian Eagle to the left and monogram to the right upper side of the note. In the nineteenth century, after signing the Treaty of Turkmenchey that ended the Russo-Persian War, trade routes and commerce began to grow between the two countries, gradually making Iran the largest country to trade with Russia. The ports between Baku and the Caspian docks in Iran, together with railways connecting the Caucus to Tifis meant that the exchange of goods was thriving by the end of the century, resulting in this unusual recognition of Russian currency in Iran. This banknote was stamped with the Qajar emblem making it legal tender in Iran. Although this particular banknote was reprinted and used until 1916, it's use in Iran was limited to the turn of the century.
