1822. Russia. Sterling bond bearing 5% interest. Black with red imprinted revenue and embossed seal of N. M. Rothschild as the Russian Loan Contractor. Signed as contractor by NATHAN ROTHSCHILD (1777 - 1836); banker, head of the London branch of the Rothschild banking family.This bond was issued for the reconstruction of Russia following its destruction during the War against Napoleon. Rothschild worked constantly for the defeat of the French emperor in the interests of England as well as his own financial gain. Working inconspicuously, Rothschild engineered the financial machinery needed to supply the Allies with the much needed funding to defeat the French. This bond has a few condition problems as is typical for this issue. This particular example has a few fold repairs and old tape staining, though the tape has been removed and replaced with archival tape. Rothschild's signature remains uncancelled along the upper right margin. A wonderful piece of financial history signed by one of the world's most famous and important financiers.
