Among the banknotes represented in the exposition of the Museum of Local Lore, its unusual appearance is allocated treasury tickets with a face value of 20 rubles.
The external design of the treasury signs was quite simple. On the front side there were the name, denomination, the image of the new state emblem on which the double-headed eagle without the imperial crowns, the scepter and the power, and the inscription “must be circulated along with the credit cards”. Banknotes do not miss such familiar attributes as watermarks, series and number. Thus, they were most popular banknotes for counterfeiting that period.
Such banknotes were issued in face value of 20 and 40 rubles in sheets of 40 pieces each. The way they were printed made it possible to calculate either whole sheets or a certain number of cut off characters.
Treasury bills were introduced as temporary state signs and entered the monetary circulation of the Russian Republic in September 1917. These types of bill were withdrawn from circulation at the end of 1922.
