The sheer number of signature combinations on Pick 13 — spanning two State Bank directors, Konshin and Shipov, paired with over a dozen different cashiers — reflects a decade of continuous production through conditions that ranged from peacetime Imperial banking to war finance to revolution. Shipov served as director from 1910 until the February Revolution effectively dissolved his authority in 1917; notes bearing his signature were still in circulation alongside Soviet-era issues well into the early 1920s.
Rarer cashier pairings, particularly late Konshin combinations, command meaningful premiums among signature variety collectors. The Baryshev and Brut cashier variants under Konshin are notably harder to locate than the Afanasev or Schmidt pairings.
