Including buyer's premium

Two five-dollar bills received from Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneersohn – the Lubavitcher Rebbe, on the yahrzeit of his wife Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneersohn, 22nd Shevat.
The bills were given to R. Shaul Shimon Deutsch and his wife Pe'er; inscription (in pen) in the margins: "From the rebbe together with the Kovetz 22nd Shevat 1992".


On the eve of 22nd Shevat 1992, in honor of the fourth yahrzeit of his wife Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, after the evening prayers the rebbe distributed a special booklet named Kovetz 22nd Shevat, which contained discourses and letters on the virtue of Jewish women and girls. Each booklet was presented together with a piece of Lekach and a five-dollar bill (the Hebrew word for five – חמ"ש is an acronym for the Rebbetzin's name – Chaya Mushka Schneersohn). The distribution of the booklets continued for five hours straight. The present bills were received from the rebbe on this occasion (without the booklet).


Good condition. Folding marks and creases.
