| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in black on uncoloured paper and divided into two parallel text panels separated by a central vignette of a wheat sheaf above a shield. The left panel carries the German text "LETTLANDS STAATS-KASSENSCHEIN / EIN RUBEL" beneath the heading, while the right panel bears the Russian-language equivalent "ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬСТВО ГОСУДАРСТВЕННАГО КАЗНАЧЕЙСТВА ЛАТВІИ / ОДИНЪ РУБЛЬ". Both panels include extended legal guarantee and anti-counterfeiting texts in their respective languages, all enclosed within the same elaborate Latvian folk-pattern guilloche border used on the obverse. |

| Opmerkingen |
Latvia's very first government-issued banknote, authorized almost immediately after the declaration of independence in November 1918. The new Treasury had no established printing infrastructure, and the 1 Rublis was produced domestically under difficult conditions — Latvia was still actively fighting on multiple fronts against both German Freikorps and Bolshevik forces when these notes entered circulation.
The rublis was a transitional currency, effectively a Latvianized holdover from the Russian imperial ruble system, and was never intended as a permanent unit. It was replaced by the lats beginning in 1922.
