Special facts

In 1925 the three rubles was printed anew, without the word “gold” and on a smaller note, 135 × 70 mm instead of 168 × 76.

Appearance

Dark green print over a guilloché ground, the USSR coat of arms at top centre. The reverse is multicolour (red, yellow-orange, green, blue), with a hammer and sickle at either side. The cashier's cipher letter is printed next to the date -- not tied to a numeric serial range, unlike the gold-rouble notes. Size: 135 × 70 mm. No watermark.

About the period
