About this banknote

The State Bank of the Russian Empire issued the 10,000 rubles State Credit Note in 1917. This high-denomination banknote was introduced to address the escalating inflation and financial demands during World War I. By 1917, the ruble's purchasing power had significantly declined, necessitating the issuance of larger denominations to facilitate transactions.

The front side of the banknote features the denomination and official inscriptions, while the back side displays the double-headed eagle, the emblem of the Russian Empire. This note, cataloged as Pick 31N, was part of the emergency banknote series issued during the late stages of the Russian Empire.
