Issue history

The ten-thousand-rouble state currency note of 1922 was put into circulation on 20 June 1922. 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 АЕ was printed, blocks 7001–7036, 200,000 notes per block — 7,200,000 in all. The notes were withdrawn from circulation on 1 October 1923.

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 — Loshkin; 1 — Porokhov; 2 — Kolosov; 3 — Beliayev; 4 — Selyavo; 5 — Silayev; 6 — Onikov; 7 — Dyukov; 8 — Kozlov; 9 — Sapunov.
