I do like these - they use the long rectangle format so well. I bought a set only last month, but unfortunately discovered too late that it lacked the Tbilisi stamp, which was careless of both the dealer and me for not checking they were all there.
They were designed by S.A.Pomansky, a veteran artist who succeeded Ivan Dubasov as the chief designer at Goznak, and engraved by seven of his team. I'm guessing that the team was led by S.Aferov, who did the Tallinn stamp, the green one, fourth down in your list. Lydia Mayorova (see part 3 of my Dubasov article) did Yerevan, Minsk and Kiev (nos. 1, 3 and 14), while Tatiana Nikitina did Alma Ata, Moscow and Stalinabad (nos. 6, 11 and 12), so the ladies were well represented!
Lydia Mayorova reminds us that individual engravers were not permitted to put any mark of authorship on their work, no matter how tiny or secret. It's good that we can enjoy their work now - thanks for posting these, Kiwi.
