About this banknote
The People's Bank of the RSFSR issued the 5,000 rubles Settlement Note in 1919 to address the hyperinflation and economic instability following the Russian Revolution. This note, measuring 166 x 118 mm, features a blue-on-yellow design with a multicolored underprint. The obverse displays the denomination and the inscription "РАСЧЕТНЫЙ ЗНАК РОССИЙСКОЙ СОЦИАЛИСТИЧЕСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАТИВНОЙ СОВЕТСКОЙ РЕСПУБЛИКИ" (Settlement Note of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic), while the reverse showcases the state emblem and the slogan "ПРОЛЕТАРИИ ВСЕХ СТРАН СОЕДИНЯЙТЕСЬ!" (Workers of the World, Unite!) in seven languages.
A notable feature of this series is the inclusion of the swastika symbol, which was used in early Soviet iconography before its later association with Nazism. The note was demonetized on 1 October 1922, reflecting the period's economic challenges and the RSFSR's efforts to stabilize its currency system.
