| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Plain salmon-toned note with a decorative interlaced border in dark ink running the full perimeter. The denomination "1 Weens rublis" is printed in large Gothic blackletter script at centre, flanked by numeral "1" on each side; above it, the issuing authority legend appears in a smaller Gothic typeface. The date "Rigā, 15. augustā 1919. g." is printed at centre below the denomination, followed by two manuscript signatures and a red serial number prefix with black numerals at lower left. An anti-counterfeiting warning appears at the foot of the note. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is printed on the same salmon-toned stock with an identical decorative interlaced border. The text is presented in two parallel columns in Gothic and Roman typefaces: the left column carries German text identifying this as a "Schuldschein der Stadt Riga" for "Ein Rubel", guaranteed by city assets; the right column repeats the same information in Russian Cyrillic. An anti-counterfeiting warning is printed in German at the top and in Russian at the bottom of the note. |

| Anmerkungen |
Riga's municipal government issued its own currency in 1919 because it had no practical alternative. The newly independent Latvian state had not yet established a functioning central bank or unified currency system, and the city was simultaneously dealing with the aftermath of German occupation, a Bolshevik advance, and the collapse of Tsarist ruble infrastructure. Local authorities stepped in to fill the gap.
Printed locally under genuinely difficult wartime conditions, the paper quality and registration on these notes varies considerably across the run — not a grading caveat, but a documented production reality reflecting what Riga's printers actually had available in early 1919.
