| Obverse description | Black letterpress on a lilac guilloche underprint. The central field carries the large Cyrillic denomination legend «ДВѢСТИ ПЯТЬДЕСЯТЪ РУБЛЕЙ» above a clause in smaller type affirming convertibility into gold coin; bold numerals «250» over «РУБЛЕЙ» in ornate cartouches flank the text at left and right. Two manuscript signatures — those of the Manager (Управляющий) and the Cashier (Кассиръ) — appear below, with the year 1917 at foot centre; thirteen distinct signature varieties are recorded for this type. |
