Appearance
Fifteen-rouble credit note prepared in 1856 on the 1843 pattern but never put into circulation. The only known form is a trial from the Goznak museum: the state arms stand in the middle of the front, with the title "ГОСУДАРСТВЕННЫЙ КРЕДИТНЫЙ БИЛЕТЪ" and a hand-written promise to pay fifteen roubles in silver or gold coin; the signatures were to be printed below. The back carries an extract from the manifesto and the arms. Size 170 × 110 mm.
