This appears to be a vintage bank deposit bag used for transporting cash, coins, or valuable documents.
It was recovered from the ruzzian backpack, so the mystery is how a frontline ruzzian soldier was in procession of this bag?
Maybe it was looted from occupied territories, and kept as a keepsake, or maybe he kept his other loot in it. Honestly we will never know, the facts are lost to time, but it is an interesting item for the serious collector of these types of items.
Details of the Item
Institution: The Cyrillic text at the top, ПАО "МАРФИН БАНК", identifies it as belonging to Marfin Bank PJSC (Public Joint-Stock Company).
Bank History: Marfin Bank was a financial institution that operated in several countries, including Ukraine and Romania. In Romania, it was acquired by the Vardinogiannis Group and rebranded as Vista Bank in 2019. In Ukraine, the bank has a history dating back to at least 2001 and was later reorganized as MTB Bank.
Markings: The handwritten numbers (e.g., "117246-2") likely represent internal tracking data such as account numbers, route codes, or specific shipment identifiers.
Material: It is made from heavy-duty canvas or linen, typical for durable bags designed to carry the weight of bulk coins or large quantities of paper currency.
These bags are often collected as historical memorabilia or "bankiana," similar to vintage Soviet-era money bags found in collector markets.
This is a real artefact of the war of Ukraine and thus will only appeal to the true collector of war memorabilia.
