Special facts

The thousand-ruble Babylonian is a third of the area of the thousand-ruble dumka of 1917.

Series, cashiers and factories

The cashier — one of ten — is set by the last digit of the block number (0 — Galtsov, 9 — Titov). The ten series were printed by three Goznak factories: the First Moscow factory printed АА, АБ, АЕ, АЖ, АЗ and АИ (100 blocks each) and АК (48 blocks), Penza АВ (100 blocks) and АГ (50), and Perm (the Urals) АД (86). Each block is 1,000,000 notes; varieties are distinguished by last block digit, factory and watermark type. In all, 884 million notes were printed.

Watermarks, sheets and specimens

There are four types of watermark: the numeral 1000 (all series), small stars (series АВ, АГ, АД and АЖ), large «shadow» stars (АЗ, АИ, АК) and lozenges (АЗ, АИ) — Pick 104a–d in the catalogue. Not every watermark occurs with every cashier, so there are fewer star and lozenge varieties than block digits. The notes were printed in sheets of 6 (3 × 2). Specimens are perforated «ОБРАЗЕЦЪ».

Appearance

The dominant colour of the note is green, and the value stands at the right on the obverse. The note measures 115 × 80 mm.

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
