    Default Unknown banknotes... Help please!

    Found this bank note among some belonging to family - various odd ones

    This has Japanese and Cyrillic and I don't know it's identity/issuing authority/proper description.

    Can anyone help please?

    The Chrysanthemum motif at the top is more typically Japanese (above the birds).

    I've googled till I'm blue in the face! I had 4 other bank notes to identify and managed those.

    Not Nepal - they have another script.

    thank you for the replies

    Yes the central writing is Japanese - and the Russian word японское means Japanese.

    Looks like a Japanese occupation of Russia note ?

    I thought that but, though the Japanese created such notes, they were never issued and I can't find a picture, Dean

    The Japanese produced lots of occupation banknotes in WW2 and so these predominate, whilst your banknote is from 1904.

    Try a search (you know where) for
