Special facts

The ruble of 1895 was printed under Nicholas II but with the old promise of silver: Witte introduced the gold standard only in 1897.

Appearance

One-rouble note of 1895, the first issue of the new reign: the 1887 design with the monogram of Nicholas II instead of that of Alexander III. It still promises exchange for silver or gold coin; brown and blue print on white paper with silk fibres. Watermark: rhombi made of light and dark triangles; size 142 × 83 mm. Issued in 1895–1897; from 1898 the date and the exchange text changed.

About the period

The credit notes of 1887–1896 were the last issues before the Witte currency reform, while the paper rouble was still promised to be exchanged for silver or gold coin. The new designs appeared under Alexander III, and in 1895–1896 they were printed with the monogram of Nicholas II. More about the period “State credit notes”, 1887 — 1896
