| Obverse description | The heading «Государственный Банкъ» is set in large decorative letterpress type across the top, with the subtitle «Депозитная Металлическая Квитанція» immediately below. A circular guilloche medallion bearing the numeral «25» is positioned to the upper right. The body of the note carries a lengthy text in Cyrillic script detailing the offices authorised to redeem the receipt and the gold coin equivalent, with the year «1895 года» and two manuscript signature lines for the Кассиръ and Управляющій, followed by a second serial number at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed on a fine guilloche underprint covering the entire surface in a delicate lace-like pattern. At centre, a large circular embossed medallion carries the inscription «Депозитная Металлическая Квитанція» around the perimeter and the date «1895.» at its centre, with a small ornamental star below. The overall design is intentionally plain, relying on the intricate background mesh and the central embossed seal as the primary security and decorative elements. |
