About this banknote

The Assignation Bank of the Russian Empire issued the 25 rubles banknote in 1811 as part of the Assignation Banknotes series (1786–1818). This series was introduced to facilitate transactions and address the shortage of silver coinage during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

The obverse of the banknote features text without a frame, including the denomination "Двадцать пять рублей" (Twenty-five rubles) and two handwritten signatures. The reverse displays one handwritten signature. Notably, some 1811 issues were subject to Napoleonic forgeries, identified as Pick A10x, which are rare and distinguishable by typographically printed signatures instead of handwritten ones.
