The Expedition of Procurement of State Papers (Ekspeditsiya zagotovleniya gosudarstvennykh bumag) was Russia's state security printing house, established in 1818 specifically to bring banknote production under direct imperial control after decades of reliance on foreign presses. This note falls within the earliest years of that operation, when the Expedition was still refining its intaglio techniques and paper production under the direction of Augustin Betancourt.

The 1819–1843 date range reflects continuous reissue of an essentially unchanged design — Russia's assignat-era notes were notoriously slow to be updated, partly because the Finance Ministry resisted redesign costs and partly because the assignat system itself was already being quietly wound down ahead of the 1843 monetary reform that replaced assignats with credit rubles at a fixed rate of 3.5 assignat rubles to one silver-backed credit ruble.
