Issue history

The 1-chervonets note of the 1926 pattern was printed by the multicolour Orlov method. The obverse was designed by Ivan Dubasov, the reverse by Vladimir Kupriyanov. The note is dated 1926 but was printed with that date until 1934.

Signatures

Знак подписывало правление Государственного банка СССР — за восемь лет выпуска сменилось четыре состава. Первый (серии АА–ВД, 1926–1929) — правление председателя А. Шейнмана (Шейнман, Каценеленбаум, Хрущёв, Шлезингер, Мануйлов). Второй (серии ВМ–ЕЕ, 1929) — правление председателя Г. Пятакова (Пятаков, Каценеленбаум, Шер, Аркус), тот же состав, что и на трёх червонцах 1924 года выпуска 1925 года. Третий (серии ЗВ–ЛЕ, 1930–1931) и четвёртый (серии МБ–ЯЯ и далее, 1932–1934) — оба под руководством М. Калмановича и Л. Марьясина, различаются двумя другими членами правления (Аркус и Карклин — в третьем, Шер и Горбунов — в четвёртом). У образца с перфорацией — подписи первого состава (Шейнмана), у образца с красной надпечаткой — третьего (Калмановича/Карклина).
