| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in rose-red on a light pink ground and closely reproduces the design of the Imperial Russian 15-kopeck postage stamp of 1913, with perforated edges retained. A circular intaglio vignette at centre carries a right-facing bust portrait of Tsar Nicholas II in military uniform, enclosed within a fine guilloche border. The denomination '15' appears in large numerals at lower left and right, each followed by 'КОП', while the word 'ПОЧТА' is inscribed across the top panel, and decorative laurel sprays flank the portrait on either side. |

| Opmerkingen |
Russia's Treasury notes of 1915 filled a gap left by the near-total disappearance of silver coinage from circulation — the public was hoarding coin as the war drained the economy and public confidence collapsed simultaneously. These small-denomination paper pieces effectively replaced the coins, which is why they were printed in coin-sized formats. The State Duma had authorised the suspension of the 1897 gold standard in late July 1914, and by mid-1915 the monetary system was visibly fracturing.
The printed date in the metadata — 30 April 1945 — is certainly a cataloguing error rather than a press date. No credible production record places this issue anywhere near that year.
