State credit cards of the 1918 type are paper banknotes issued by the People's Bank of the RSFSR , and after its abolition, by the Budget and Settlement Office of the People’s Commissariat of Finance of the RSFSR in 1919-1922 according to the decrees of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR of May 15 [1] [2] and October 21 1919 [3] [4] .
All printing supplies, in particular, printing cliches , were made even under the Provisional Government in 1917, therefore the emblem of the Russian Republic was depicted on banknotes, all the inscriptions were made in pre-reform spelling , and they themselves (“Credit tickets are exchanged by the State Bank for a gold coin without limitation, the amounts are provided by the entire possession of the state ”) at the time of release they no longer corresponded to reality.
Credit tickets quickly depreciated, and their release was discontinued on July 1, 1922. Credit tickets were exchanged for banknotes of the 1922 type in the ratio of 10,000: 1 until November 1, 1922, and outside the RSFSR and the Union republics until December 31, 1922 [5] .
The face of the banknotes shows the denomination in numbers and cursive, an explanatory inscription, the signature of the “manager” - the chief commissioner of the People's Bank of the RSFSR G. L. Pyatakov [6] and one of the cashiers, the year of issue and serial number (AA-123 format for tickets with a face value of 1 -1000 rubles and AA 123456 format for tickets of 5 and 10 thousand rubles). On tickets of 5 and 10 thousand rubles there is an image of a swastika [7] .
On the reverse side is the emblem of the Russian Republic , the face value and a warning about responsibility for falsification .
The banknotes were printed on white paper with watermarks in the form of a numerical designation of the face value or a “carpet” ornament throughout the field of the banknote.
