3 chervonetses — USSR (1932)

Special facts

The Latin script in the text is a mark of the latinisation of those years, when many Turkic languages of the USSR were moved from Arabic script to the Latin alphabet.

Issue history

The 3-chervontsa note of the 1932 pattern is the last denomination of the series, issued in September 1932. Besides the languages of the union republics, the text of the law is repeated, for the only time in the series, in Latin script and in a Turkic line. It was printed by the multicolour Orlov method and designed by Ivan Dubasov.

Signatures

Unlike the other denominations of this series, this note was signed throughout its entire issue by only one board of the State Bank of the USSR — that of chairman M. Kalmanovich (Kalmanovich, Arkus, Maryasin); the specimen carries the same signatures.

Appearance

The front is green with black. Along the top runs a band alternating the value with the text of the law, and at the edges is the value on a guilloché ground. At top centre are the USSR arms; in the centre the text of the law, the value and the date; at the bottom the value and the text of the law twice more, and the signatures. The number is printed twice: red on the left, black on the right. The multicolour back is made up almost entirely of the value: in the corners, at the edges on a guilloché ground, in rectangles at the top, in the centre, in three elongated hexagons and in an ornamental frame at the bottom. No watermark; size 157 × 88 mm.
