Ассигнации (1769-1843)

    Первые бумажные деньги появились в России по указу Екатерины II в феврале 1769 года. Изначально их курс был строго привязан к серебряному рублю, но постепенно из-за инфляции и распространения фальшивок доверие к ним падало, и к началу XIX века за ассигнацию давали уже не более 20 копеек. Медная монета приравнивалась по стоимости к ассигнационному рублю. Ряд правительственных указов привёл к росту курса примерно до 30 копеек, но избавиться от двух валют удалось только при реформе Е.Ф. Канкрина с вводом в обращение кредитных билетов обеспеченных серебром. Существовало три основных выпуска ассигнаций, каждый из которых имел новые уровни защиты от подделки. Наибольшего уровня защиты удалось достичь после открытия новой фабрики - Экспедиции заготовления государственных бумаг (ЭЗГБ). Выпуск ассигнаций был прекращён к началу 1840-х.
