State Bank of the USSR notes (1938)
Three denominations -- 1, 3 and 5 roubles dated 1938 -- despite their own printed title "ГОСУДАРСТВЕННЫЙ КАЗНАЧЕЙСКИЙ БИЛЕТ" ("State Treasury Banknote"), were actually issued by the State Bank of the USSR, not the People's Commissariat of Finance -- the old name was inherited from the preceding treasury-note series of the same denominations (1924-1934). Designed by Ivan Dubasov, printed using the multicolour Orlov technique (Goznak), with no signatures. Dense unwatermarked paper, no security thread. Withdrawn from circulation by the 14 December 1947 currency reform.
