Special facts
Three gold rubles were worth 150,000 rubles in sovznaks of the 1923 pattern, the rate at which they were exchanged at the reform.
Appearance
Green print on both sides, popularly nicknamed "ленивцы"/"лежебоки" ("sloths"/"lazybones") after the two men reclining with a book at lower right of the obverse. The USSR coat of arms at upper right, the denomination within a guilloché at upper left. The reverse has the denomination at lower left framed by the value in five languages. Size: 168 × 76 mm. A misprint in the Ukrainian word "БИЛЕТ" on the reverse (missing the letter "і") was corrected mid-print-run -- the earliest series (1-7) carry the misspelled form, later ones (8-92) the corrected one.
About the period
