The government of the newly formed Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic decided to reissue banknotes of the sample of 1898-1912. About 90% of the banknotes with the dates “1898”, “1905”, “1909”, “1910” and “1912” were issued at that time.
A banknote of the corresponding denomination issued for circulation in accordance with the decree of the tsarist government of December 6, 1915 served as an example for the banknote of 1 ruble represented in the exposition of the museum. This credit card repeated completely a similar ticket of the 1898 sample, but it had a simplified numbering: instead of six-digit one-two-and three-digit serial, two-line series were used.
On the obverse at the top of the banknote on the whole field there is an inscription “State Credit Ticket”, in the lower part there is the year of issue of the sample (1898). In the center there is the main image, which is divided into three parts by columns, crowned with two-headed eagles with a single crown with straightened wings. In the left part of the central field there is a small state emblem of the 1883 sample. In the central part, the inscription on the curtain has the inscription "ONE RUBLE", below it there is the inscription "The State Bank exchanges credit tickets for a gold coin without a limit on the amount (1 rub = 1/15 imperial, Contains 17,424 shares of pure gold) ", below there is the signature of the manager Shipov and the cashier. All these inscriptions are located on the background of the figure “1”. In the right part of the banknote is the monogram of Nicholas II. Background brown, drawing blue, print black and blue.
The reverse, like the obverse, is divided into three parts: on the left side there is the wor “ruble” against the background of the figure 1, in the center there is the small state emblem of the 1883 model in a round frame on the crossed branches of oak and olive tree. On the right-hand side is an extract from the law of November 14, 1897: “1. The exchange of state credit tickets for gold coins is ensured by all the property of the State. 2. Public credit cards are circulated throughout the Empire on a par with the gold coin. 3. For the forgery of credit cards, the perpetrator is deprived of all rights of the state and exile in hard labor”. Background is brown, pattern is yellow.
A watermark represents two kinds of triangles that form rhombuses.
Credit tickets in nominal value of 1 ruble of the sample in 1898 with simplified numbering were in circulation until October 1, 1922, when according to the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of October 8, 1922, “On the Establishment of the Uniformity of Currency Circulation” lost their payment power. Their exchange was made at the rate of 10.000 rubles per 1 ruble by monetary symbols of the 1922 sample.
