Russia Moves Forward with New Series

The Deputy Chairman of the Bank of Russia, Mikhail Alekseev, has provided local media with more details of the new Russian series, which will start going into circulation with the new 100 rubles in 2022. It will be followed by the 1,000 and 5,000 rubles in 2023, the 500 rubles in 2024 and 10 and 50 rubles in 2025. The 200 and 2,000 rubles, both introduced in 2017, will not be included in the new series.

The conceptual designs for the new notes, which will be more modern both in design and features, have been approved by the Bank’s Board. Although no visual references will be provided before the unofficial unveiling of each new note, it is understood that they will be in line with the design approach of the 2,000 ruble of 2017.
