About this banknote

The State Credit Note, 1 Ruble, 1915, was issued by the State Bank of the Russian Empire, which was the central bank responsible for managing the nation's currency and monetary policy. This series was introduced in 1898 and continued until 1917, serving as a primary form of paper currency during the late Imperial period. In 1915, the ruble was worth approximately US$0.5145, reflecting the economic conditions of the time.

A notable feature of this series is the blue print with a red-brown underprint, featuring the small coat of arms of the Russian Empire on the left and the Emperor's monogram on the right. The note measures 150 x 90 mm and is signed by Ivan Shipov, who served as the cashier during that period.
