Banknotes of Nicholas II
State Credit Notes of the State Bank and Treasury small-change notes of the reign of Nicholas II. The series of 1895–1896 (Pick A61–A64) still promises exchange for silver or gold coin; after the Witte reform the notes of 1898–1912 carry the obligation to exchange for gold coin (Pick 1–15). The printed date does not change with the issue: the 1898 type was printed until 1914, and many designs of 1905–1912 were printed on under the Provisional Government and in the first months of Soviet power — such issues are shown as separate rows with the signature of Shipov. Signatures of the manager of the State Bank: Pleske (1898–1903), Timashev (1903–1909), Konshin (1910–1914), Shipov (from 1914). The notes were printed by the Expedition for the Preparation of State Papers.
Appearance
Three-rouble note of 1898, the 1895 design with the gold-exchange text; printed until the new 3-rouble note of 1905 (introduced in 1907). Beige ground, brown, blue and green print, paper with silk fibres. Watermark: vertical stripes with a repeated "3р". Size 150 × 93 mm.
