Special facts

Converted into the money before the redenomination of 1922, this note was worth ten million rubles.

Two watermark forms

The eight-line type of the 10-rouble note is the only one in the issue whose two watermark forms occur on notes that actually entered circulation, not just on specimens. Most of the series has the ordinary corners watermark, the late part large shadow stars. The notes of the late part were signed by only four of the ten cashiers: Dyukov, Kolosov, Loshkin and Silayev.

Appearance

The obverse is black on a light-grey ground: a guilloché pattern with the value «10» and the word «РУБЛЕЙ», the RSFSR coat of arms at upper left, a serial number of two letters and four digits printed twice, the year «1923», and the signatures of the People's Commissar of Finance and a cashier. The reverse is brown on a multicolour (light brown, blue, yellow) ground, with an ornamental frame and the value in the corners, the text set in eight lines. The note measures 129 × 80 mm.
