Obverse symbol

Printed in green and black tones. On the left side, there is a vertical decorative frame containing legal text, topped with a double-headed eagle. Below the text, a circular emblem contains the date "1918." To the right of this panel is a horizontal rectangle with the denomination and signatures below it. At the center of the note is a large circular portrait of Don Cossak Yermak, surrounded by a wreath. Overlapping with the medallion, a seated female figure in flowing robes extends her left arm across the top, resting it above the portrait. Below her in a rectangle is the denomination again. To the right, the denomination yet again is printed in large black type. The serial number "AE-52" appears twice: once near the top center and once near the lower right corner. The background is filled with a repeated pattern of the number "100" and the word "РУБ". The frame around the note includes repeating decorative elements, alternating text and rosettes along the edges.
