Lot Highlights

Rarity and Value
The 1000 Ural Franc note from 1991 is a grand tribute to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, one of Russia’s most celebrated composers. Issued by the “Ural Market” association, this high-denomination note is exceptionally rare, embodying both monetary value and cultural prestige. Its impressive denomination and association with an iconic figure make it a standout piece for collectors of rare currency and musical memorabilia.

Discovery and Acquisition
Emerging from a unique moment of economic decentralization, this note reflects the Ural region’s efforts to assert its cultural and financial identity during the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Its issuance was limited, and few notes remain in pristine condition, adding to its rarity and collectible appeal.

Craftsmanship and Presentation
The note’s deep red hue and ornate border design frame Tchaikovsky’s portrait with an air of regal elegance. Fine detailing and complex security features reflect the craftsmanship of the period, while the portrait captures the composer’s dignified presence, making this note a visual and historical masterpiece.

Human Touch
Beyond its monetary value, this note is a celebration of Tchaikovsky’s enduring legacy. It serves as a reminder of the power of art and music to inspire and unite, even in times of great political and economic upheaval. Holding this note is like holding a piece of cultural history, a tribute to human creativity and resilience.
