Special facts

The green 250-ruble Babylonian is much smaller than the dumka of the same value of 1917: 105 × 70 mm against 175 × 105.

Series, cashiers and factories

On the 250 roubles, too, the series points to the factory: the First Moscow factory printed series АА (blocks 001–072), Penza АБ (001–064), Perm in the Urals АВ (001–038). 174 blocks of a million notes were issued — against a plan of 200 blocks per series. The cashier, one of ten, is set by the last digit of the block; varieties are told apart by it and by the series.

Sheets, watermarks and specimens

The notes were printed in sheets of 10 (2 × 5). Most notes have the numeral 250 as a watermark, laid diagonally. Series АБ also occurs with a different watermark — small six-pointed stars (Pick 102b) — but only with the cashiers whose block ends in a digit from 4 to 9. A printing error is known: the reverse printed upside down. Specimens are perforated «ОБРАЗЕЦЪ».

Appearance

The dominant colour of the note is green. The note measures 105 × 70 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
