Special facts

Nikolai Krestinsky, who signed the Babylonians as finance commissar, later served as Soviet envoy to Germany.

Series, cashiers and factories

The 100-rouble note was printed by three factories, each with its own series: АА — the First Moscow factory (blocks 001–048), АБ — Penza (001–066), АЕ — Perm, in the Urals (001–007). Of the 600 planned blocks, 200 per series, 121 were printed, a million notes each. Varieties are distinguished by series and by the last digit of the block, which points to one of ten cashiers.

Sheets and specimens

The notes were printed in sheets of 6 (2 × 3). Specimens are perforated «ОБРАЗЕЦ», separately on the obverse and on the reverse.

Appearance

The reverse is printed in black, purple-brown and green on a brown background. The watermark is the numeral 100 repeated across the whole field: usually horizontal, but sometimes vertical — the direction depends on how the sheet was loaded, and it is one and the same print run.

About the period

The settlement notes of 1919 were the first Soviet paper money with the arms of the RSFSR. They came out in two series: small notes of 1, 2 and 3 roubles, and large ones from 15 to 10,000 roubles. More about the period “Settlement notes”, 1919
