State Credit Notes of 1843–1865
The State Credit Notes of the 1843 pattern were introduced in the autumn of 1843 as the last stage of Kankrin's reform: assignats were exchanged for credit notes at a fixed rate, while deposit notes and the notes of the savings treasuries were exchanged one for one. The notes in 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 silver roubles were issued in limited amounts according to the silver in circulation (at first they were about half backed). Each note carries only its year of issue and a number, with no series. The signatures of the manager, the director and the cashier are facsimiles. The 15-rouble note of 1856 remained an unissued trial.
Appearance
Five-rouble credit note of the 1843 pattern on a bluish ground. Ornaments of four frames joined by semicircular patterns stand at the sides; at the top a complex pattern with ovals holding the figure 5 around a circle with the arms, at the bottom an oval cartouche "ПЯТЬ РУБ: СЕРЕБ:" with an oval "IIIII" above it. Watermark: a mesh of circles with letters forming the words of the denomination, the title and the year. Size 170 × 110 mm; dated 1843, 1847, 1851, 1854–1861 and 1863–1865 (there is no 1862). A specimen "ОБРАЗЕЦ" without signatures is known.
