Item Description
This is an Russian Imperial-era municipal bond issued by the City of Sebastopol in 1910, denominated in 108.75 roubles (equivalent to 500 francs or 404 Reichsmark at the time of issue). The bond represents a significant piece of Russian financial and political history from the twilight years of the Romanov dynasty.

Historical Context
Issued under the authority of the Russian Ministry of Finance on the basis of a decree dated 25 May 1908, this bond was part of a major municipal loan programme authorised by Imperial decree. The total loan was valued at 1,500,000 roubles (equivalent to 4,000,000 francs or 3,232,000 German marks). Sebastopol, as a strategically important Black Sea port city and naval fortress, required significant capital investment in infrastructure and civic development during this period.
