What are 25 ruble banknotes from 1961?

The monetary reform of that time gave Soviet citizens brand new paper money, which was small in size. They were even popularly called “candy wrappers”, since the paper banknote of 25 rubles of 1961 and other denominations was several times smaller in size compared to banknotes of the 1947 model. At the same time, the bright colors of the copies hardly made the released new items “official money of the Soviet state.” The main characteristics of this banknote are as follows:

• The predominant design color is purple
• size is 124x62 millimeters
• light and dark five-pointed stars act as a watermark
• artist unknown.

Issuance of bonds 25 rubles 1961

The design of the 25 ruble bonds from 1961, the sale of which is very relevant, is quite interesting. So, on the front side on the left side there is an image of Lenin’s portrait (this was the case on all the money, starting from 10 rubles). At the top there is an inscription that this is a Ticket of the Soviet State Bank of the USSR, and below you can see the coat of arms of the Country of the Soviets between the patterns. In the middle, a banknote with a face value of 25 rubles from 1961 contains the denomination in words in 2 lines; under the denomination, in small print, it is written what bank notes are backed by (precious metals, gold and other assets of the State Bank). In addition, at the bottom the denomination is repeated three times in numbers. At the bottom right in the vignette on a white field the denomination is indicated with a number, and the year of issue is marked under the vignette.

On the reverse side, the 25 ruble banknote of 1961 has the series and number twice in red (bottom right and top middle). In the center, the denomination is indicated in words, and in the languages ​​of all republics of the Union (Russian, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Belarusian, Kazakh, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Moldavian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Tajik, Kyrgyz, Armenian, Estonian and Turkmen). The denomination of the banknote is also indicated in numbers, in particular, on the left white field. The abbreviation “USSR” is printed in large letters on the right, under which it warns that ticket counterfeiting is punishable by law.

In 1961, a monetary reform was carried out, during which new banknotes in denominations of 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 rubles were introduced into circulation. Every 10 rubles of the 1947 model were equal to 1 ruble of the 1961 model. These banknotes, nicknamed “Khrushchev candy wrappers” for their size, became one of the symbols of the Soviet era. On the banknotes in denominations of 1, 3 and 5 rubles there was the inscription “State Treasury Note”, and on the rest - “Ticket of the State Bank of the USSR” (as on money of the 1947 model), however, they were all equal means of payment. New money was printed for 30 years (until the beginning of 1991), but on the banknotes (as now) only the year of the sample “1961” was put, so it is possible to determine the exact year of manufacture of the selected banknote only by series.

Currently, banknotes of the 1961 model remain one of the most widespread and have a low market value, with the exception of rare series and varieties, which will be discussed below. The following table shows prices in Russian rubles:

*Note:




----- - cost unknown;
If there is a diagonal inscription in red letters “SAMPLE”, the cost of the bill will be approximately 200 times higher for low denominations (1-5 rubles), and 50-100 for high denominations (10-100 rubles).

1991 banknotes

In 1991, after the so-called “Pavlovsk reform”, during which the old type of 50 and 100 ruble banknotes lost their value, a new set of banknotes was introduced into circulation, which resembled the money of 1961, but had some differences: the denomination was no longer indicated in the languages ​​of the Union republics (except for 50 and 100 rubles), the color design was slightly changed, microtext and other new security elements were added, and on small denominations (1-5 rubles) instead of “treasury note” the inscription “Ticket of the State Bank of the USSR” appeared (as on large denominations ). Later, due to an increase in prices, bills of 200, 500 and 1000 rubles were added to them. 25 rubles were not issued in 1991.

Banknotes of the 1991 model are also not of particular value (with the exception of 200, 500 and 1000 rubles, the value of which in UNC condition reaches several thousand rubles). The following table shows prices in Russian rubles:

*Note:
F - below average condition (the bill is a little shabby, may have torn corners or dirt);
VF - average condition (corresponds to most modern banknotes);
XF - excellent, but not perfect, condition (there are one or two slight bends, no stains, dirt, or abrasions);
UNC - perfect condition (even minor defects are completely absent);
----- - cost unknown;
100 rubles of 1991 of the 1st issue have the watermark “Lenin”, and 2nd issues have the “stars”, and the second issue also has an overprint “100” on the white coupon field.

The following table provides a description of the 1991 banknotes:

USSR State Bank tickets, 1992 model

In 1992, tickets of the State Bank of the USSR were issued for the last time (most of them had already been issued by the Central Bank of Russia). These were banknotes in denominations of 50, 200, 500 and 1000 rubles. Bank of Russia notes of the 1992 model in denominations of 5,000 and 10,000 rubles were not USSR rubles, but circulated in parallel with them and were taken out of circulation in Russia along with all Soviet banknotes as a result of the monetary reform that began on July 26, 1993 (exchanged until September 26 1993).

The following table shows the value of Soviet 1992 banknotes in Russian rubles:

*Note:
F - below average condition (the bill is a little shabby, may have torn corners or dirt);
VF - average condition (corresponds to most modern banknotes);
XF - excellent, but not perfect, condition (there are one or two slight bends, no stains, dirt, or abrasions);
UNC - perfect condition (even minor defects are completely absent);
----- - cost unknown.

The following table provides a description of USSR State Bank tickets of the 1992 model:

Rare numbers

Any banknote with a beautiful number is valued higher than the usual one. The 1961 and 1991 banknotes have a seven-digit number. Basically, there are numbers like: 8756434, 1653908, 5432765. That is, all the numbers are different. Such numbers are of no value. All interesting numbers can be divided into several categories:

1. 3 or 4 identical numbers in a row. Example: 1111876, 7655598, 9870000.
2. Number indicating the denomination. It is valuable only on banknotes with a denomination of 1000 rubles and above. Example: 8761000, 9035000, 3410000.
3. "Radars" and "radar detectors"."Radar" is a number that is read the same from left to right and from right to left. Example: 8760678, 5435345, 1238321. “Radar detector” is a number with a repeating combination of three digits, between which there is another digit. Example: 6549654, 7873787, 5432543.
4. The numbers are in order. Example: 1234567, 2345678, 4567890.
5. 5 or 6 identical numbers in a row. Example: 2222278, 3333339, 1555555. Six zeros are valued higher than six ones, etc. Moreover, the number with the last repeating digits is rated higher than with the first ones.
6. All numbers are the same. Example: 4444444.
7. All zeros.

Example: 0000000. Such numbers are available only on banknotes with the inscription “SAMPLE”, or on defective banknotes, during the printing of which a numbering failure occurred (after 9999999 there should be 0000001). For "samples" all zeros in the number are normal.

Below is the increase in the value of banknotes in perfect condition (UNC), depending on the number. Banknotes that were in circulation are valued 3-5 times lower.

That is, a 1961 ruble in perfect condition with the number “1000000” will cost approximately 3,000 rubles.

Series and series font

Type 1 and 2 series font The first and second type of font.

For banknotes of the 1961 model with a denomination of up to 10 rubles, the series font comes in two types. In general, letters with the first type of font look more printed, while with the second they look more handwritten. Usually the type of font is determined by comparison, but some collectors can tell the difference with a quick inspection. Banknotes in denominations of 10, 25, 50 and 100 rubles have only the first type of font. A 1 ruble banknote with the first type is valued 15-20 times higher than with the second. The cost of 3 and 5 rubles with the first type of font is 5-10 times higher than the cost of the second type of font. That is, if a ruble with the second type of font costs 30 rubles, then with the first it will cost 500-600. Banknotes of the 1991 model and large denominations (10, 25, 50 and 100 rubles) do not differ in font type. In terms of the size of the letters in the series, the most interesting are those in which both letters are large (for example, “AA”, “VG”, “AG”). If there is only one capital letter (for example, “Вг” or “вГ”), then the value of the banknote is almost no different from the face value. The least valuable are series with two small letters (example: “ab”, “vs”, “bg”).
In addition to the size of the letters, what letters appear in the series also matters. The most interesting is the “AA” series, since it was stamped on the very first banknotes, which means that the fewest of them have survived. The letters B", "V", "D" and further are usually not of interest to collectors, but if both letters are the same, then the banknote can have a value of about 2-3 times higher than the usual one ("BB", "BB", "GG" ", "yy" and others).

Replacement series. To replace defective banknotes at the Goznak factory in 1961-1990, bills with special series were used, in which the first letter is “I”, and it does not matter whether the letter is large or small. Subsequently, they came into circulation on a par with ordinary ones, but collectors classify such banknotes into a separate category. Their cost can exceed 10 thousand rubles for copies in excellent condition (on average - 1000-1500 rubles). It is worth noting that the second letter of the series has no meaning and does not affect the rarity.

The table shows the dependence of the cost of banknotes on the series.

The exception is 3 rubles with the first type of font and two small letters (except for series with the first letter “ya”). There are a lot of such banknotes issued and their cost does not exceed 100 rubles.

Paper type

The 1961 banknotes have two types of paper. The first type of paper does not have a glossy surface (varnish); in addition, its color slightly matches the main color of the print. For 10 rubles it has a reddish tint, for 25 rubles it has a purple tint, etc. The second type of paper is more common, has a white color and a glossy surface on one side. It is difficult to determine the type of paper with an inexperienced eye; it is better to do this when comparing several bills.

The cost of banknotes with denominations of 10 rubles and above with paper of the first type is approximately 5 times higher than the cost of banknotes with paper of the second type. Low denomination banknotes (1, 3 and 5 rubles) with paper of the first and second types are valued equally. Among banknotes with dates 1991-1992 there is no division by paper type.

Print type

On small banknotes of the 1961 model, three types of printing were used: offset, Oryol and metallography.

Offset printing is the simplest type of mass printing. Currently used for books, newspapers and advertising brochures. During Soviet times, it was used to print low-denomination banknotes starting around 1965. Offset printing is the sequential application of each color to paper separately using a rubber roller. In this case, liquid paint is used. With this type of printing, it is impossible to achieve precise color registration and there is often overlap or gaps.

Oryol seal first appeared in 1890, its inventor is I.I. Orlov, who worked in the Expedition for the Procurement of State Papers (the predecessor of the modern Goznak). In 1894, 25 ruble banknotes were produced using the Oryol seal, and then this type of printing began to be used regularly in money production. The main difference from offset printing is that the color can change dramatically on the same line, as different colors of hard hat are applied simultaneously using a box with partitions (thick ink of different colors is placed between the partitions). Until 1961, this type of printing was used on all large denomination banknotes; at present, it is gradually being replaced by metallography. Banknotes of 1961 with the Oryol seal have a background consisting of clear lines that have a smooth transition from one color to another without gaps or overlaps.

Metallography was invented in the second half of the 20th century, and is currently used to print all banknotes and some securities. Metallography is easy to distinguish: the image consists of very thin, clear lines. Printing is carried out using a pre-made metal plate with an image (cliché) etched on it. As with Oryol printing, several colors are used simultaneously. Very thick paint is placed in the recesses of a metal plate, from where it is squeezed out upon contact with a sheet of paper.

Let's consider options for printing banknotes with the date "1961":
1 ruble. There are three variants on rubles: obverse - metallography, reverse - Oryol; front - metallography - reverse - offset; front and back - offset. The rarest for the ruble is metallography on the front side and Oryol on the back (the cost is 2 times higher than offset), the combination of metallography with offset printing is valued slightly less, and the most common ones are completely printed using the offset method. Offset printing is much cheaper, so it was used in most cases.
3 rubles. All have one printing option: front - metallography, back - Oryol.
5 rubles. Two options for printing the reverse side: Oryol and offset. The cost is the same. On the front side there is only metallography.

100 rubles 1991 of the second issue (watermark - stars) are of two types: with offset printing and metallography, their cost is almost the same. All other denominations of 1961 and 1991-1992 are not divided by printing options. An inexperienced collector can rarely distinguish the type of seal, so this parameter is often not paid attention to when determining the value of a banknote.

When printing ruble banknotes using the metallographic method, two variants of cliches (printing plates) were used. The banknotes differ very slightly; on the front side you need to find the unit at the bottom left and look at the outer line of the rhombus in which it is inscribed. The upper right side of the rhombus of the first version (type “A”) is supplemented with a small sharp protrusion, but in the second version there is no such protrusion (type “B”). The cost of rubles with cliches of the first type is approximately 20-25% higher.

Variants of cliches for the ruble of 1961

Watermark direction

The watermark of the 1961 ruble banknote comes in two types, differing in the arrangement of the stars. If you draw a line through the center of the dark stars, then on some of the bills it will be inclined to the left, and on the rest to the right. You can also check the inclination using bright stars. Tilt to the right is as common as tilt to the left. The Aa-Iya series have a slant to the right, the Kt-Si series - to the left, the Ka-Ks - in two versions.

Availability of ultraviolet protection

Banknotes of the 1961 model in denominations of 10 and 25 rubles are divided into two types: with and without ultraviolet protection. You can check the presence of protection only under an ultraviolet lamp, and a luminous frame indicating the denomination will appear on top of the field indicating the denomination in different languages. All 50 and 100 ruble banknotes have UV protection in the form of small luminous dots. There is no UV protection on 1, 3 and 5 rubles.

Banknotes of 10 rubles from 1961 without ultraviolet protection are valued 3-4 times higher, and 25 rubles may have yellow or purple protection. 25 rubles of 1961 with purple protection are valued 2 times higher than with yellow protection, and 2 times lower than without protection. Partial availability of protection is not a defect and is due to imperfect technology.

Paper 25 rubles of the 1961 model were issued from 1961 to 1991. The entire circulation is divided into several varieties, which have different prices. Thus, the collection price of 25 ruble banknotes printed on type 1 coated paper with a purple tint in excellent condition exceeds 5,000 rubles. Banknotes with the YaA and YaV series can cost up to 10,000 rubles. Defective banknotes with inverted watermarks can also reach a price of 10 thousand rubles.

* press - a state of absolute preservation, without the slightest traces of handling (as soon as out of the pack).

On the initial series of tickets with a face value of 25 rubles, ultraviolet protection was used in the form of small multi-colored “specks of dust” randomly applied to the ticket. Later, on 25 rubles, ultraviolet protection appears in the form of a rectangle with the inscription “25 rubles”. Also, a watermark in the form of stars throughout the field served as protection against falsification.

In the production of banknotes, metallographic printing was used on a two-color printing substrate grid. On the reverse side, metallographic printing was used on the Oryol substrate grid in five colors.

25 rubles, model 1961, varieties

1 issue of 25 rubles begins with the “AA” series and ends with the “YAV” series. When printing the 1st issue, two types of paper were used: 1st type with a purple tint, for about a third of the issue, the remaining bills were printed on the second type of paper without a purple tint. The font for numbering all issues of 25 rubles was only type 1.

To enhance protection, UV printing was used in the form of a rectangular frame, inside of which there is the inscription " 25 RUBLES". The UV stamp was applied to the reverse side of the banknote over the text in the national languages ​​of the USSR. This stamp can only be seen in the ray of UV light. For the first time, the UV stamp appeared on the LL series. Then it is continuously found on all series up to the "EYA" series. In the replacement series “YA” and “YAV” there is no UV stamp. The color of the stamp is blue, with slight variations in shades. The yellow color of the stamp is not found on the notes of the 1st issue. On most banknotes of the 1st issue the stamp is printed almost completely. There are instances where the inscription and the frame are either partially visible, or only individual fragments are visible. This happened due to the imperfection of the application technology.

Banknote from the replacement series, approximate price 10,000 rubles

The 2nd issue of 25 rubles is known in the form of two ranges of series. The first began with the series "Aa" and ended with the series "Lx", the second began with the series "Pp" and ended with "Sm". The series from "Lch" to the "Po" series were not published. Banknotes of this issue are much more common and cost about three times less than banknotes of the AA-EYA series.

25 rubles 1961 - samples

Before the introduction of new banknotes into monetary circulation, samples were sent to the country's financial institutions to familiarize themselves with the new banknotes. They were printed in the form of one-sided demonstration copies, series AA and with numbering consisting of only zeros and with the inscription “SAMPLE” printed diagonally. The collection value of such samples is 25 rubles, more than 15,000 rubles per set of face value.

If we take bonistics as a whole, then there is no division of cost by period.

There are modern banknotes that are valued 100 times more expensive than the royal ones. There are also Soviet banknotes that are very expensive. Considering that this is money, and not paintings or some kind of works of art. Below is a table with interesting types of banknotes

Often at home or at our grandmothers we still have banknotes that have long gone out of use. In old books you can find banknotes not only of the Soviet Union, but also of Tsarist Russia. It is quite understandable that the owners are interested in the collection value of the found specimens. Today, most people mistakenly believe that old Russian banknotes are extremely valuable, and that you can get rich with royal banknotes.

Professional collectors highly value certain types of banknotes. But expensive banknotes are quite rare.

Rare signature of Cashier Brutus

The assessment of banknotes, in addition to the year of issue and preservation indicators, is influenced by many circumstances. For example, for a bill with the signature of the cashier Brutus, many gamblers are willing to pay a large amount. The reason is that these banknotes are considered a talisman by card players.

How to determine what banknote you have

There are certain parameters by which you can determine the value of a find:

Timashev 1909

The time of issue of the banknote is the period during which the banknote was issued. The date that can be seen on a banknote does not always reflect its actual issue. The date indicates the year the denomination and design were approved. It was during this period that the issue of banknotes began. The true age of a banknote can be determined thanks to one feature. During Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union, signatures were placed on banknotes bank manager And cashier. If you have knowledge about the period in which this manager was in office, you can determine the year of graduation. The serial number and the number of digits in it can also tell you the real age of the bill.

USSR crumpled banknote

The safety of a banknote is an analysis of its appearance, integrity and wear and tear.

More circulation => lower collection value

The circulation of a banknote indicates the number of printed banknotes of a given sample. If a large number of banknotes have been printed, there is a high probability of encountering a similar pattern. But, in this case, its collectible value is quite low. More often than not, later editions are produced in larger quantities.

How expensive are Tsar banknotes and how is the value determined?

The greatest interest among novice numismatists is the royal banknotes (1898 - 1912). The banknotes are quite large in size and have a bright appearance. But the most important thing for beginners is their low price, which is sometimes significantly lower than the cost of modern commemorative coins. The reason is that paper money was issued during the Russian Empire. In those days, you could live on one ruble for a whole week, so there was no point in saving on the quality of banknotes.
After the advent of Soviet power, banknotes depreciated. Most of the banknotes bearing the dates 1898, 1905, 1912 were issued during Soviet times. Those from the time of Nicholas II, which were not issued by the Soviet government, are of high value.

Royal banknotes issued during the initial period of the formation of the USSR

Banknotes that date from 1898 to 1912 are divided into three parts:

• issued by the Russian Empire;
• issued by the Provisional Government;
• Soviet banknotes.

Since only the year was stamped on these banknotes, which did not depend on the actual issue, the true date is determined by the signature of the bank manager. The value of an ancient banknote depends on the manager’s signature. Modern collectors are also of great interest in gold coins, silver coins and silverware.

What kind of signatures of managers and cashiers are there, and how expensive?

If you have state banknotes from the times of the Russian Empire from 1898 to 1912, you should know that the value of the banknotes depends entirely on the signature of the manager that appears on them. A large number of collectors collect banknotes not only according to the signatures of managers, but also try to become owners of banknotes with the signatures of all cashiers, of whom there are more than a dozen people. The signatures of certain cashiers are much more common, and some are truly rare.

For example, you have a state credit card with the signature of manager Konshin. This note is worth a certain amount, but it is not final. It is likely that the bill bears the rarely seen signature of a particular cashier. This nuance allows the value of a banknote to increase tens of times. On the banknotes of Tsarist Russia you can find the signatures of the following managers: Timasheva, Konshina, Shipova.

It is impossible to determine the exact frequency of signatures of certain cashiers. For this reason, it is impossible to know for sure that a particular banknote is less common. It is also impossible to accurately say the value of a banknote on which there is a rare signature of the cashier, because a huge number of collectors may show interest in it. If banknotes with a rare cashier's signature were discovered and you decide to sell the banknotes at a collector's club for a high price, you may be able to get the desired amount. Accordingly, even if you have a rare bill, you will probably receive a large “round” amount.

Banknotes from the Civil War period. Top expensive

After the collapse of the Russian Empire, new state formations arose on the outskirts of the country, which had their own coat of arms, flag and currency.

5% short-term liabilities

During the civil war, there was a total depreciation of banknotes. The governments of such “states” actively issued interest-bearing obligations, which had the right to circulate in the designated territory on a par with rubles. 6%, 5% short-term obligations and coupons for them were issued in the Great Don Army, in the Urals and in Siberia.
These obligations were issued to the bearer and could be converted into registered ones. The banknotes depicted state symbols in the form of a double-headed eagle and the nominal value of the obligation itself. The banknotes were certified by the signatures of local bank administrations and accounting departments. Such obligations were usually accompanied by coupons on which it was written which specific obligation they related to. The amount of interest and the date on which it can be collected at a bank branch were also indicated.

Banknotes of the RSFSR period. Top expensive

Paper money with Soviet symbols began to appear in March 1919. The denomination of the first banknotes, which are valued by collectors, was 1, 2 and 3 rubles. Money was issued due to the fact that inflation eliminated coins from use. The paper money that was issued in 1919 had a design that was developed during the time of the Provisional Government, but due to the revolution did not come into circulation.

The Bilibino eagle is a new symbol (coat of arms) depicted on USSR banknotes

The main image on the new tickets was the Bilibin eagle, which was designed by the artist Bilibin as the Russian coat of arms. The double-headed eagle was without crowns and did not hold royal paraphernalia in its paws. Banknotes were issued in denominations from 1 to 1000 rubles.

In 1919, banknotes were also issued that had a denomination of 5,000 rubles and 10,000 rubles. Printing of these paper money was carried out with standard serial numbering. Every million tickets had a mark on them.

In 1921, the circulation included small denominations of banknotes: 3, 5 and 50 rubles. The design was in many ways similar to the 1919 samples, which were made in the form of revenue stamps. Throughout 1921, the issue of money was on a huge scale. To facilitate market calculations, the state resorted to denomination.

In the 20s, there was a shortage of cash banknotes in the USSR, so new banknotes were put into circulation. The most expensive are 1, 3 and 5 rubles of 1924. On banknotes, the design was applied to only half of the banknote. The inscription was duplicated in six languages ​​of the country's republics. The banknotes depicted peasants reading books (3 rubles) or a tractor moving into the distance (5 rubles). In 1924, the circulation included 3 chervonets banknotes, on which the value in gold was indicated as 23 grams. There was a picture of a peasant on the banknote. Banknotes from 1 to 50 kopecks were also issued, which were a necessary measure due to the inability to issue copper coins. In 1925, banknotes with denominations of 3 and 5 rubles were updated, but the ornament did not fully correspond to the state, which glorified labor. The tractor and peasants were replaced by complex ornaments, and 5 rubles had an image of a worker. But paper bills were no longer hard currency, since they were not backed by precious metals.
After the reform was carried out in 1947, an exchange of old-style money took place, which had a proportion of 1 to 10. Money was printed on vertical paper sheets, which depicted a portrait of Lenin and a panorama of the Kremlin. Today, the collection value of some types of USSR banknotes can exceed tens of thousands of rubles.

Banknotes from the Russian period of the 90s. Top expensive

The price of modern banknotes can depend on a number of factors. Collectors are willing to pay a decent amount for some banknotes. These banknotes include rarely seen banknotes. For example, banknotes with a denomination of 5 rubles stopped printing in 1999. At the moment, they are considered an official means of payment, although they can be found quite rarely. If the banknote is in good condition, it can be sold for 250 rubles. If banknotes do not have traces of circulation, then their price can exceed 500 rubles.
