| Obverse description | The central vignette presents an intaglio rendering of the Moscow Kremlin ensemble — Spasskaya Tower and the Grand Kremlin Palace — set over a fine guilloche underprint in pale olive-green. The Soviet state coat of arms appears in an ornate circular frame at left, while a large guilloche medallion bearing the numeral '3' occupies the upper right, with a secondary green numeral '3' at lower right. A cartouche at lower left carries the statutory legal text, with the date '1961' flanked by stars beneath the inscription. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is organised around a large stylised numeral '3' at centre, set against a fine guilloche underprint, with the denomination rendered in the fifteen official languages of the Soviet republics arranged in a structured typographic layout across the note — a convention that earned this series the collector designation 'Polyglot Rouble'. A warning against counterfeiting appears in Russian at the upper register, with the multilingual denomination text distributed symmetrically across the field. |
