I'm new to this forum (or any forum for that matter!), but I really can't find any information on this topic anywhere. I've recently added several Shipov Russian Imperial banknotes to my collection. However, I've learned that the Imperial design was issued not only by the Imperial government but by the Provisional and early Soviet State governments as well. From the bits of info I could find, it sounds like the length of the serial number and maybe the cashier signature might be clues to which government actually issued the note, but I would really appreciate some help in how to identify and distinguish them.
