Special facts
At the reform of 1961 the 1947 ruble note was exchanged for 10 kopeks in new money.
Appearance
Blue print. At the top of the front is the USSR arms in an ornamental frame, below it the value in 16 languages of the union republics: Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Armenian, Turkmen, Uzbek, Tajik, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Karelian, Moldovan, Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian — hence the type name "16 republics". The back shows a hammer and sickle over ears of wheat in a guilloché frame and the legal tender text. Watermark: stars in columns; no signatures; size 123 × 81 mm. The title on the note is "State Treasury Note", although it was issued by the State Bank of the USSR.
There are 11 varieties (Denisov КБ-22.1–22.11). They differ in the number font — type I with small sharp serifs or type II with large rounded letters — in the spacing of the series letters on type I, tight or wide, and in how the series letters are written: АА, Аа, аА or аа. Two specimens with a red "ОБРАЗЕЦ" overprint are known.
About the period
The banknotes of the 1947 currency reform are seven denominations from 1 to 100 roubles dated "1947". The reform exchanged old money for new at 10 to 1 and removed the surplus of money accumulated during the war. More about the period “1947 Monetary Reform”
