In October 1921, the State Bank of the RSFSR was established, which was supposed to "establish the correct monetary circulation." According to the law of October 11, 1922, the State Bank was allowed to issue hard currency partially backed by gold. Thus, the first banknotes of the State Bank – chervonets - entered the monetary circulation. However, not only paper money was issued for circulation. Since 1923, the Petrograd Mint began to produce gold coins-chervonets, which in their parameters repeated the tsarist 10 rubles. Their design was developed by medallist Anton Vasyutinsky based on a sketch for one of the pre-revolutionary agricultural exhibitions. The full-length coin depicts a peasant sower against a background of smoking chimneys, a plow and the rising sun. Gold chervonets, dated 1923, were issued a little more than 2.7 million pieces. 52 years later, the "sower" was remembered again. In 1975, 250 thousand gold chervonets were minted, and then until 1982, a million such coins were minted annually. Today, the golden "sower" is one of the investment coins of the Bank of Russia.
