The obverse is printed in brown tones on plain paper. The upper portion bears the issuing authority in Cyrillic lettering arranged in two lines within a decorative border with ornamental corner devices. A central guilloche vignette carries the large numeral '25' as the denomination indicator, flanked by vertical side panels with repeated Cyrillic text. The lower portion contains handwritten and printed text identifying the series, serial number, date of issue (August 1919), and the obligation text, with two manuscript signatures of the Minister and Finance Minister above a printed compliance clause. |

The reverse is printed in blue-green tones and dominated by a large central guilloche composed of interlocking geometric rosettes forming the numeral '25'. The field is covered with a fine crosshatch underprint, framed by an ornamental border with floriate corner pieces identical in style to the obverse. Three lines of Cyrillic text at the upper register state the acceptance terms and payment obligation date of 15 November 1919, with manuscript signatures of the Manager of the Erivan Branch, the Controller, and the Cashier inscribed in their respective positions. |

The Erivan branch of the Russian State Bank began issuing its own regional notes in 1919 as central authority from Moscow had effectively ceased to function across the Caucasus. Armenia at this point was caught between competing pressures — the newly declared Armenian Republic, ongoing Dashnak administration, and the remnants of Russian imperial banking infrastructure still nominally operating out of Erivan. This note is a product of that administrative overlap, not of any single coherent monetary authority.
Pick 8A is distinguished from the closely related 8 by differences in the serial number format. The printing itself was rudimentary, a reflection of the limited press facilities available in Erivan at the time.
