Comments

Series АА and АЛ were printed at the Goznak factory in Moscow.
Series АГ was printed at the Goznak factory in Perm.
Series ББ was printed at the Goznak factory in Penza.

It was planned that 100 blocks of each series would be released, with each block number increasing by 3 from the previous number.

  • At the Moscow factory, blocks АА - 001-298, АЖ - 003-300, and АК - 004-301 were planned to be released. In reality, blocks АА - 001-070, АА - 121-130, and АЛ - 073-094 were released. Moreover, the АЛ series was never intended to be printed, but it was printed in accordance with the АА series.
  • At the Perm factory, blocks АГ - 002-299 and НН - 121-418 were planned to be released. In reality, only blocks АГ - 002-032 were released.
  • At the Penza factory, blocks ББ - 011-308, ФФ - 191-488, ФЧ - 192-489, ХХ - 201-498, and ХШ - 202-499 were planned to be released. In reality, only blocks ББ - 011-023 were released.
  • At the Rostov-on-Don factory, blocks АН - 005-302, АР - 006-303, АУ - 007-304, АЦ - 008-305 were planned to be released. In reality, none of these were even printed.
