Заём свободы. Война до победы (Liberty Loan. War until Victory)
A shouting soldier unfurls a red banner reading 'War until victory' under the heading 'Liberty Loan'. The red flag of the February Revolution, a symbol of the new freedom, is carried for continuing the war, and the word 'liberty' names what is in fact a 5 percent government war bond.

Text on the object
ЗАЕМЪ СВОБОДЫ ВОЙНА ДО ПОБѢДЫ [illegible — small artist signature, bottom left]
LIBERTY LOAN WAR UNTIL VICTORY [illegible]
Spelling follows pre-1918 Russian orthography as printed (hard sign Ъ at the end of ЗАЕМЪ; yat Ѣ in ПОБѢДЫ). A signature in the lower-left corner of the image, cited elsewhere as 'P. Buchkin, 1917', is too small and faint in this scan to transcribe with confidence and is marked [illegible] rather than guessed.
