About this banknote

The 5 ruble banknote issued in 1938 was a State Treasury Note of the USSR, featuring a pilot with an aircraft on the obverse. This series was introduced to replace earlier state currency notes, with the word "gold" removed from the denomination.

A notable feature of this series is the inscription stating that the notes are backed by the property of the USSR and must be accepted as payment throughout the entire territory of the USSR.
