Is that note about the trans Siberian railroad?
They certainly have a connection. The banknote says something about Harbin, and the railroad goes through it to Vladivostok:
Perhaps someone knows more about this?

Both of these notes show dates of 1898 & 1899, respectively. How do you determine that they are 1905?? I assume that it probably is a signature variation that dates them?
Wonderful notes.

My guess is more likely the serial numbers. Finnish markkaa notes (from its time as a Grand Duchy to pre-Euro issues) also had static dates. It is the serial numbers that tell when they were issued and released.
Thank you all!
The dates of the notes are determined by the signature of the director (Управляющiй), who from 1905 to 1910 was Sergey Timashev. So generally the notes with his signature are printed between 1905 and 1910, but since the 3 roubles got renewed in 1905(1906), and the 25 roubles in 1909, the dates are 1905 for the 3R and something between 1905 and 1909 for the 25R.
They could be dated more accurately from the serial numbers, like Sir Sisu said, but I don't have enough know-how to do that

Of course!
Finn notes have signatures too that obviously can determine the general timeline.QUOTE

I wonder if such a text has ever been published, or if the records even exist to make that even feasible regarding Russia. For Finnish notes, I have Onni Viitala's Suuri Suomalainen Setelikirja. Not sure if you have seen this. Under each banknote he lists the series of serial numbers that were issued for the note and groups them by what year those notes were made. Some are even listed to the day. Not sure if he has taken this from Borg's previous work (I have not seen that book), or if he has had archival access.

I've been looking myself for this year for awhile. Unfortunately, some of my other recent purchases have set me back a bit, so it will probably be next year before I can add anything similar to my collection.
