3 Rubles, Russian Empire, 1905-17

3 Ruble banknote of the Russian Empire, printed from 1905-1917. The front of the note says 'State Credit Note', and prominently displays the denomination (Ten Rubles) in large ornate font. The note features the double headed eagle, the emblem of the Russian Empire, on the front and the back. There are intricate guilloche patterns on both sides - repetitive and geometric patterns - designed to make counterfeiting difficult. The note mentions that it can be exchanged for gold. 

3 is an uncommon denomination - banknotes usually move in denominations of 1-2-5-10. However, USSR and many of its East European satellite states had banknotes in the denomination of 3. This was to make transactions easier - many everyday items were priced in multiples of 3. The 3 Ruble Russian banknote was a precursor to all of these.
