The Expedition of State Credit Bills was Russia's own state printing bureau, established under Nicholas I specifically to bring note production under direct government control — ending dependence on foreign printers. These 25 Rouble credit bills were fully backed by a silver reserve, a legally mandated ratio that distinguished them from the assignats they replaced, which had collapsed under unchecked issuance during the Napoleonic period.
The silver rouble denomination in the note's title was not ornamental — holders retained a theoretical right of redemption in specie throughout most of this series' circulation life, a promise the government managed to keep until the Crimean War fiscal strain forced suspension of convertibility in 1858.
