| Obverse description | At left, the Imperial Russian State arms — a double-headed eagle within an ornate circular vignette — surmounted by the Imperial crown, with the cipher of Emperor Alexander III above. To the right, the large Cyrillic denomination «ОДИН РУБЛЬ» (One Rouble) is set within a fine guilloche underprint, alongside the legend «Государственный Кредитный Билет» (State Credit Note). Two facsimile signatures of the bank manager and cashier appear at lower centre, with serial number and series prefix printed at lower left and lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by two large ornate guilloche rosettes bearing the numeral «1», flanking a bold central date «1882.» printed in large serif numerals. Above, a lengthy Cyrillic text panel presents an extract from the Imperial Manifesto on Credit Notes («Извлечение из Высочайшаго Манифеста о Кредитных Билетах»), with the full text repeated in parallel columns across the upper and lower portions of the note, all set against a fine lathe-work guilloche background. |
