Special facts
Multicolour printing in a single pass was invented in 1890 by Ivan Orlov, a master at the Expedition, hence the name “Orlov method”.
Appearance
Vertical ten-rouble note of the 1894 pattern, a multicolour Orlov print (red, brown, yellow and blue). The front shows a symbolic sun with the figure 10, spreading rays and a frame shaped like the letter П with rosettes. Watermark: the figure 10 repeated at an angle. Size 104 × 174 mm. The note is dated 1894 and was printed with that date until 1898, but entered circulation only in August 1895. A specimen perforated "ОБРАЗЕЦ" is known.
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
