About this banknote
The 1 ruble banknote from the 1947 Soviet Monetary Reform was issued by the State Bank of the USSR. This reform, conducted from December 16 to 19, 1947, aimed to stabilize the post-war economy by revaluing the ruble at a ratio of 10:1, effectively reducing the amount of money in circulation. The reform also coincided with the discontinuation of the wartime rationing system.
A notable feature of this series is the depiction of the State Emblem of the Soviet Union on the obverse of the 1 ruble note. The reverse side is multicolored, featuring intricate patterns characteristic of Soviet-era banknotes. The banknotes were printed by Goznak, Russia's state-owned enterprise responsible for producing currency and securities.
