Obverse description Plain white ground with typeset text throughout. The denomination '5.000.000' appears in large bold numerals at upper right and in a vertical panel along the left margin. The full title of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic is set in bold Cyrillic text across the upper portion, below which a central text block states the obligation to pay five million roubles at par with existing settlement notes in the cashier offices of the People's Commissariat of Finance. Three manuscript signatures appear in the lower centre — Народный Комиссар Финансов, Заведующий отделом денежн. и расч. знаков, and Главный Бухгалтер — accompanied by the series designation 'АА' at upper left and the date '1921 г.' at lower right. A lower text block sets out the redemption conditions, including the exchange deadline of 1 July 1923.

Reverse description The reverse presents as the verso of the thin paper certificate, showing a ghost impression of the obverse text through the sheet. A faint guilloche rosette pattern is visible in the centre, likely a watermark or underprint element of the paper stock. A strip of five small denomination coupons is attached along the right edge, each bearing repeated text in Cyrillic, intended for successive partial redemption use.
