The 1923 Soviet 500 Rouble belongs to the brief and chaotic period when the Bolshevik government was running two parallel currency systems simultaneously — the rapidly inflating sovznaki and the new gold-backed chervonets introduced in late 1922. The sovznaki series, to which this note belongs, was essentially a dead currency walking; the State Bank had already committed to phasing it out, but printing continued because the rural economy still ran on it.
Goznak — the successor to the Imperial Expedition for the Procurement of State Papers, founded in 1818 — had only recently been reconstituted after the disruptions of revolution and civil war. By 1924, the entire sovznaki series was demonetized at a rate of 50,000 roubles to one new Soviet rouble.
