A hundred years on the scale of the universe is not such a big gap. Let’s follow how the 10-ruble banknote changed during this time. The bill, a photo of which you can see in our article, is closely related to the history of our country. One human age, but how much it can change in the life of one state.
What 10 rubles looked like - a bill of the beginning of the century
The new banknote of Tsarist Russia was published in 1909. It replaced the old credit cards and was issued until 1919. The state ticket was decorated with the imperial emblem of 1883. It was printed on white paper with security signs. During this troubled time, there was a lot of money printed.
The next sample is 10 rubles - a bill sample of 1918. Soviet booms and the legacy of the Provisional Government - an instance very interesting for collectors. The famous chervonets was pale red and with elements in the same tone. In the center is placed the inscription “Credit card” and the face value. Below - the signature of the manager Pyatakov. The reverse side in pink with a contour pattern. In the center is the imperial coat of arms in the form of an eagle, but already without sovereign regalia.
Banknotes of the post-war period
The new 10 rubles issued in 1947 are also very interesting for the bonists. The bill is horizontally oriented, executed in orange-blue tones. On the front side in the center is an image of V. I. Lenin. State symbols are present here, in the form of crossed sickle and hammer, the denomination is indicated in letters and numbers.
The reverse side of the bill confirms that this is a ticket of the State Bank of the USSR, next to the declared face value. There is a serial number and a warning about criminal liability in case of falsification appears. At the same time, it is indicated on the banknote that the bank ticket is provided with gold and precious metals stored in the bank.
There is another banknote issued 10 years later, in 1957. There are slight differences compared to the 1947 bill. By this time, the number of republics of the USSR had decreased, so there were less ribbons in the coat of arms.
In the world of collectors, the described 10 rubles are very appreciated.
Bill: the city depicted on it, and other signs of a modern banknote
Over the recent history of Russia, the printing of the described banknotes was started and stopped several times. Interestingly, a banknote of 1997 denomination of 1997 was modified several times - in 2001 and in 2004.
On the front side of the boom is a view of the Yenisei River, a bridge over it. In the foreground is the Krasnoyarsk chapel, which is a monument of antiquity. Above there is a stamping of the Bank of Russia and an indication that this is a ticket of the Bank of Russia, and below is a warning about criminal liability for falsification. The bill itself is quite embossed, multi-colored. The serial number is indicated.
On the back of the banknote is the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric station. There is also information about the year of release and face value.
On the ticket of the Bank of Russia there are watermarks, increased relief, microtext and protective thread, as well as multi-colored protective fibers, an ornament, a kipp effect under it and a metallized color.
New issues of banknotes are minor changes. So, the protective threads change in size, additional embossed text can be entered. All modifications of state money, as a rule, pursue only one goal - to reduce the number of fakes.
