Issue history

The thousand-rouble state currency note of 1922 was issued on 26 November 1921. The issue was denominated in the new, revalued currency: one new rouble equalled 10,000 roubles of all earlier issues. It was authorised by the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of 3 November 1921 and printed at the First Moscow factory of Goznak. Series АА (blocks 5001–5100), ГА (5101–5200) and ЖА (5201–5278) were printed, one million notes per block — 278,000,000 in all. The notes were withdrawn from circulation on 1 October 1923.

Signatures and cashiers

The note carries two signatures: that of Nikolai Krestinsky, People's Commissar of Finance (the same on all notes), and one of ten cashiers. The cashier is set by the last digit of the block number: 0 — Onikov; 1 — Porokhov; 2 and 8 — Kolosov; 3 — Beliayev; 4 — Selyavo; 5 — Silayev; 6 — Loshkin; 7 — Sapunov; 9 — Dyukov.

Appearance and specimens

The printing is brown. The paper carries a watermark of small six-pointed stars across the note. The note measures 198 × 112 mm. Specimens come in two forms: with a double-sided «ОБРАЗЕЦ» overprint (mirrored on the reverse) and as a pair of uniface notes with a diagonal «ОБРАЗЕЦ» perforation.
