Special facts
It was printed by the Expedition for the Preparation of State Papers, founded in 1818, from which today’s Goznak traces its history.
Appearance
Twenty-five-rouble assignat of the 1818–1819 pattern: black print on white paper with cut corners. At the top the "Masonic" arms, with the figure 25 in a circle under them; a dark rectangle below carries the text of the promise "ДВАДЦАТЬ ПЯТЬ РУБЛ…". The back is a dark octagon with the figure 25. The first note of this type entered circulation on 20 October 1818; dated every year up to 1843.
About the period
The assignats of the 1818–1819 pattern were the first Russian paper money printed at the Expedition for the Preparation of State Papers. The printing became much better, and the notes harder to forge. More about the period “Assignats”, 1818 — 1843
