Commentary

Ce billet a repris au recto la structure du type tsariste national circulant entre 1910 et 1917 (P.13). La mention "СЪВЕРНАЯ РОССIЯ" a été ajoutée en haut au recto ; les couleurs ont été très légèrement modifiées, la date a été remplacée (1918 au lieu de 1910). Au verso la scène a été complètement changée, passant ainsi de la représentation de Catherine II à une jeune femme de profil. Avec filigrane losanges.
Nous pouvons considérer ce billet comme étant un spécimen. Plusieurs éléments nous le font penser.
Nous trouvons au verso les inscriptions manuscrites suivantes "Specimen as memento of the opening of the National Emission Caisse", ainsi que plusieurs signatures (nous avons pu distinguer sans certitude les signatures des caissiers suivants : Ivanov, Metz et Ouchinnikov). Au recto, les emplacement pour les signatures sont vides. L'aigle bicéphale ainsi que les insignes de Nicolas II ne sont pas recouvertes des cachets noirs du type circulant.
Rare témoignage historique.
This banknote has adopted on the front the structure of the national tsarist type circulating between 1910 and 1917 (P.13). The words \\\"СЪВЕРНАЯ РОСССIЯ\\\" have been added at the top of the front; the colors have been very slightly modified, the date has been replaced (1918 instead of 1910). On the back, the scene has been completely changed, thus moving from the representation of Catherine II to a young woman in profile. With a diamond watermark. We can consider this banknote as a specimen. Several elements make us think so. On the back, we find the following handwritten inscriptions \\\"Specimen as memento of the opening of the National Emission Caisse\\\", as well as several signatures (we were able to distinguish without certainty the signatures of the following cashiers: Ivanov, Metz and Ouchinnikov). On the front, the spaces for the signatures are empty. The double-headed eagle and the insignia of Nicholas II are not covered with the black seals of the circulating type. A rare historical testimony
