Treasury notes of the People's Commissariat of Finance of the USSR

Казначейские билеты Наркомфина СССР образца 1924-1928 годов — «золоторублёвые» билеты (1, 3, 5 золотых рублей 1924 года и 1 золотой рубль 1928 года) и первые обычные рублёвые билеты (3 и 5 рублей 1925 года). Название «золотой рубль» на знаке отражало довоенную привязку к золотому номиналу, хотя по сути это тот же рубль — просто более раннее по времени выпуска название той же денежной единицы. Печатал Гознак. Билеты подписывал народный комиссар финансов (Сокольников, затем Брюханов) совместно с одним из нескольких кассиров.

Appearance

Metallographic guilloché print, the USSR coat of arms at centre, an oval portrait of a worker (after a sculpture by Ivan Shadr) at left, a large digit "5" in an oval at right. Black print over a ground grading from light pink to light green. The reverse is multicolour (green, red, blue, grey). The cashier's cipher letter is this denomination's own -- it does not match the 3-rouble note's letter assignment, though several cashiers are shared between the two. Watermark: the digit "5" with rays, in two sizes ("larger"/"smaller" five). Size: 165 × 70 mm.
