5 Kopecks Uralmashinostroy

Uralmashinostroy was the construction organization responsible for building the Uralmash heavy machinery plant outside Sverdlovsk — one of the flagship projects of the First Five-Year Plan. During the construction phase in the early 1930s, the remote site lacked adequate state currency in circulation, so the administration issued its own small-denomination scrip to cover workers' canteen purchases and minor transactions on-site. These were not officially sanctioned banknotes but functional tokens of internal enterprise credit, a practice tolerated across numerous major Soviet construction projects of that period.

The plant itself became operational in 1933. Once integrated into the normal Soviet supply and wage system, scrip of this type was withdrawn and typically destroyed, which accounts for its scarcity today.
