Banknotes of Nicholas II

State Credit Notes of the State Bank and Treasury small-change notes of the reign of Nicholas II. The series of 1895–1896 (Pick A61–A64) still promises exchange for silver or gold coin; after the Witte reform the notes of 1898–1912 carry the obligation to exchange for gold coin (Pick 1–15). The printed date does not change with the issue: the 1898 type was printed until 1914, and many designs of 1905–1912 were printed on under the Provisional Government and in the first months of Soviet power — such issues are shown as separate rows with the signature of Shipov. Signatures of the manager of the State Bank: Pleske (1898–1903), Timashev (1903–1909), Konshin (1910–1914), Shipov (from 1914). The notes were printed by the Expedition for the Preparation of State Papers.

Appearance

One-hundred-rouble note of 1896 on the 1866 pattern — the only 100-rouble note with the monogram of Nicholas II and the silver-or-gold text, and a great rarity. Light beige front, a rainbow back with a portrait of Empress Catherine II; series АА–АТ. Watermark: a figured frame with a light oval and a ribbon "СТО РУБЛЕЙ". Size 217 × 120 mm.
