Russia State Credit Note 3 Rubles 1878 Pick A42. A later date is seen on this popular denomination from the Empire of Russia Treasury. At this time, these Rubles were exchangeable for gold, and this note equaled a coin of just over .115 troy ounces. This era of State Credit Notes issued by the Treasury instead of the former Assignation Bank also introduced several banknote designs, not only to keep up with the changing monarchs, but also alter the convertibility clauses as time went on. An excellent example with bright green colors, from the time of Czar Alexander II, whose monogram can be seen on the seal. PMG Very Fine 20. HID08701242017
