In 2004, another modification was carried out with the addition of new protective features and a partial design change.

On the front side in the foreground is a monument to Peter I in Arkhangelsk, at the top left is the number "500". Behind the monument is a stylized ribbon with the inscription "Arkhangelsk" (on the ribbon, when viewing the bill at an angle, the letters "PP" are visible), in the background there is an engraving depicting the Arkhangelsk port and a sailboat, made in blue. In the left part of the central field of the banknote there is a vertical color ornament. At the bottom right there is an inscription - "FIVE HUNDRED RUBLES". At the top left, over a circle of optically variable color, is the emblem of the Bank of Russia in white (a two-headed eagle with lowered wings, under it is a semicircular inscription "BANK OF RUSSIA"). At the top of the banknote on the right is the inscription - "TICKET OF THE BANK OF RUSSIA". On the sides of the central rectangle there are two coupon fields with watermarks.

Number 0000000 or any other, PP series or other. They were printed like ordinary banknotes (on paper with watermarks, on both sides).

Almost every day we deal with money: we pay with it in stores, at gas stations, in public transport, bars and restaurants. But how often do we consider domestic paper banknotes? The main character of our article will be the Russian banknote of 500 rubles, which we will closely examine and study to the smallest detail!

A bit of history...

This banknote has several informal names: “five-hat”, “petenka”, “violet”. The last nickname is obviously related to the dominant color of the banknote. In the novel by Mikhail Bulgakov "The White Guard" you can find another interesting name: "Peter".

The first 500 ruble banknote in the history of Russia was issued in 1898. At that time, it was the largest at face value in the empire. Over the next hundred years, the design of the banknote changed eight more times.

It is curious that banknotes in denominations of five hundred rubles were issued not only by the central (official) government of the country. At the same time, such banknotes were printed in several separatist entities within modern Russia that existed in the 20s of the twentieth century (for example, in the Far Eastern Republic or the Don Circle).

Banknote 500 rubles: photo and brief description

The drawing of the banknote we are interested in was developed in 1997, although it is almost identical to the banknote of the 1995 sample with a face value of 500 thousand rubles. For all the time of its existence, it has gone through four releases (in 1998, 2001, 2004 and 2011). By appearance All these banknotes are not much different.

The size of the banknote of 500 rubles: 150 by 65 millimeters. Color - purple. The banknote itself is made of cotton paper with red, green and light purple fibers.

The left side of the banknote is decorated with a vertically oriented color ornament (on the reverse, it is located on the right side). On both sides of the banknote its denomination is indicated (number and letters). In the upper left corner on the obverse is a double-headed eagle with a semicircular inscription in a brown circle: "Bank of Russia".

What is shown on the banknote of 500 rubles

500 banknote Russian rubles dedicated to the harsh but picturesque northern region - Pomorie. In this regard, the color scheme of the banknote in purple tones looks very organic and appropriate. So, the sights of which city are depicted on a bill of 500 rubles?

The front side of the banknote is entirely dedicated to Arkhangelsk. This is one of the largest northern cities on the planet, the administrative center of the region of the same name with a population of about 350 thousand people. Arkhangelsk is the most important center northern culture and northern traditions of the Pomeranian region.

The obverse of the 500-ruble note depicts a real monument to Peter the Great in Arkhangelsk. A ribbon with the name of the city flutters at the feet of the monument. And in the background is the sea and river station of Arkhangelsk.

On the reverse side banknotes can be seen panorama Solovetsky Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery from the side of the Holy Lake. An old two-masted koch floats on the water surface of the lake - a traditional means of transportation for the inhabitants of Pomorie in the past. By the way, this ship is no longer on the reverse of the 2011 banknote.

Attractions on the "pyatikhatka"

Between Arkhangelsk and the Solovetsky Monastery - about 250 kilometers. But in your wallet these two geographical feature can be very close, you just need to turn a bill of 500 rubles to the other side!

The Arkhangelsk monument to Peter the Great, which adorns the front side of the Pyakhatka, was solemnly opened back in 1914. Its author was the famous sculptor Mark Antokolsky. By the way, exactly the same statue adorns the city of Taganrog. Monks from the Solovetsky Monastery worked on the manufacture of the pedestal of the monument in Arkhangelsk.

With coming Soviet power the monument to Peter the Great was thrown off the pedestal, and in its place a grandiose monument to the victims of the intervention was erected. For a long time, the statue of the emperor lay on the banks of the Northern Dvina. And only after the war it was re-installed on the city embankment.

In the background of the 500-ruble bill is depicted sea-river station of the city of Arkhangelsk. A huge white building for it was built in the early 70s of the last century.

The reverse of the Pyakhatka is dedicated to the most famous landmark of the Russian North. The reverse side depicts the Solovetsky Monastery - the largest Orthodox monastery with an interesting and difficult fate. The monastery was founded in 1436, and from the 16th century until 1939 a prison functioned in it. Among the most famous prisoners in its history are Count Pyotr Tolstoy, Ukrainian ataman Pyotr Kalnyshevsky, philosopher Alexander Meyer and others.

Solovetsky Monastery on a banknote and in reality: funny differences

Several very interesting moments are connected with the image of the Solovetsky Monastery on the 500-ruble bill. Primarily, on the banknote, the shrine is drawn in a dilapidated, dilapidated state and without a single dome. In this form, the monastery remained in the middle of the twentieth century. Most likely, the author used an old Soviet photo complex when creating the drawing.

By the way, this error has already been corrected on the 2011 banknote.

The tallest building in the complex- the bell tower - in Soviet times was crowned with a five-pointed star. But for some reason, the author decided to replace it with a cross, which was installed on the tip of the dome only in 1992.

The third drawing error is large sea vessel, which "at full sail" rushes towards the monastery walls. But in reality, the Holy Lake depicted on the banknote is too small for such a ship. Its width does not exceed three hundred meters. In addition, the reservoir is in no way connected with the White Sea.

Another curious detail: the two-masted ship in the picture is driven by a man in a black robe, who looks very much like a monk.

counterfeit banknotes

“Forgery of tickets of the Bank of Russia is prosecuted by law”- such a warning can be seen in the lower left corner of any 500-ruble bill. However, this does nothing to stop intruders.

As a rule, money tickets with a face value of 5, 10, 50 or 100 rubles are extremely rarely counterfeited. But the chance to meet fake “five-hats” in our country is very high. This is understandable: the risk in this case is more justified.

To puzzle the scammers Central bank Russia periodically updates and modifies its banknotes. So, for example, a 500-ruble note has gone through four such modifications in its history. Moreover, the last of them (2011) is considered among experts to be the most protected from fakes.

How to distinguish a fake bill of 500 rubles in 1997? To do this, you need to take it in your hands, carefully examine and carefully feel the material. Below are five of the most obvious signs by which a counterfeit banknote can be identified:

However, attackers are often very cunning and inventive in their unclean work. More details about the signs of the authenticity of the "five-hat" will be discussed later.

How to recognize a fake banknote of 500 rubles

The Bank of Russia distinguishes five groups of signs by which it is possible to determine whether a real banknote or a fake one. So, there are the following signs of authenticity, controlled:

• to the light;
• with a magnifying glass;
• when changing the angle of view;
• to the touch;
• using special machines.

What to do with counterfeit banknotes

Every year in Russian Federation several thousand fake “five-hats” are found. Most of them were identified in 2013 - about 7.5 thousand! What should I do if I find counterfeit banknotes in my wallet? How to behave?

It is worth mentioning right away that in Russia, according to the current legislation, both the production and sale and storage of counterfeit banknotes are criminally punishable. The biggest mistake people make when detecting fake bills is when they deliberately try to get rid of them in a store or bank. Indeed, in this case, everything can end for a person by drawing up a police report.

The most correct step would be to contact the police with the appropriate statement. At the same time, it is necessary to indicate in the application where exactly the counterfeit money came from. Of course, it will not be easy to get compensation for your damage in this case. But you are unlikely to find yourself in the dock. If you do not want to waste your precious time going to the police, then you can simply destroy counterfeit banknotes: burn them or tear them into small fragments.

If you are not sure about the authenticity of your money, you can contact the nearest bank for help. There you can order a special examination for verification, however, this service is usually paid.

A banknote of 500 rubles is a very popular banknote used in cash settlements. In order to minimize counterfeit banknotes among 500 ruble banknotes, the Bank of Russia is constantly increasing the level of money protection. The effectiveness of this work can be concluded by analyzing the dynamics of detection in banking system Russian counterfeit banknotes. The statistics on counterfeit banknotes in Russia over the past nine years looks like this:

years	Total counterfeit banknotes detected (number of pieces)	Incl. counterfeit banknotes, denomination of 500 rubles (number of pieces)	Percentage of total detection
2008	132941	3273	2,46
2009	155222	1906	1,23
2010	128700	1093	0,85
2011	94567	2574	2,72
2012	88029	1417	1,61
2013	71433	7494	10,49
2014	80243	2100	1,95
2015	71949	2159	3,00
2016	61046	2015	3,3
2017 (Q1-Q3)	35393	565	1,6

In order to reduce the possibility of counterfeiting banknotes, the Bank of Russia periodically puts more and more modified banknotes into circulation, with increased security functions, removing old banknotes from circulation in a natural way (as dilapidated). That is why today there are already four types of banknotes of the Bank of Russia with a face value of 500 rubles in circulation:

1. sample 1997 - put into circulation on January 1, 1998


2. sample 1997, modification 2001 - put into circulation on January 1, 2001


3. sample 1997, modification 2004 - put into circulation on August 16, 2004


4. sample 1997, modification 2010 - put into circulation on September 6, 2011

All four types of banknotes of 500 rubles (old and new) are required to be accepted as payments at face value throughout the Russian Federation. The new 500 ruble note of the modification of 2010 is considered one of the most secure.

The size of the banknote of 500 rubles is 150 x 65 mm. The predominant color is purple-blue. The main image of the front side is a monument to Peter I against the background of a sailboat in the port of Arkhangelsk. The main image of the reverse side is the Solovetsky Monastery.

But the color and artistic design of the front and back sides of the new (fourth) banknote of the Bank of Russia with a face value of 500 rubles of the 1997 model (modification of 2010) has been partially changed, which is noticeable when compared. So, for example, the Solovetsky Monastery is depicted from a different angle, and the general color background has changed slightly.

This material lists only security features that can be checked with the naked eye, while machine-readable security features can be found on the website of the Bank of Russia.

500 ruble banknote of the Bank of Russia sample 1997

On the watermark, located on a wide coupon field, smooth transitions of tones are clearly visible - from dark to light.


• 2 - Security thread - a transparent security thread 1mm wide is embedded in the paper. In transmitted light (through the light) on the security thread, repeating combinations of letters and numbers “TsBR 500” are visible, having an oblique style, vertical offset and execution in a direct and inverted image.


• 3.1 - 3.3 - Combination of fragments of the front and back sides - when the banknote is viewed through the light, the fragments of the front and back sides are exactly combined, forming a single pattern, uncolored elements are filled with the color of the fragments of the opposite side.

• 4.1 – Micropattern, these are drawings of thin lines located on the coupon fields of the reverse side of the banknote, perceived by the naked eye as a flat field. Photocopying may distort patterns or reveal light or non-existent originals. dark drawings(moire).


• 5.1 - Positive microtext (repeated number 500) – visible with a magnifying glass on the reverse side of the banknote in the upper part of the banknote, which is formed by the repeating numbers 500.

• 6 - Security fibers embedded in the paper - security fibers are randomly located in the paper three types: red, light green and purple. Red and light green have a red and yellow-green glow in UV rays, respectively. Violet protective fibers do not glow under UV rays.

• 7 - Hidden image of the letters "PP" (Kipp - effect). When the banknote is viewed at an acute angle to the surface, against the light source, the letters “PP” become visible on the ornamental ribbon. Depending on the orientation of the banknote, the letters will appear light on a dark background or dark on a light background.


• 8 - Image element printed with metallic ink. The digital designation of the denomination is made with metallized paint with a silvery sheen, which is clearly visible in obliquely incident light rays.


• 10 - Optically Variable Ink (OVI). When the banknote is tilted, the text of the emblem of the Bank of Russia, which has a metallic sheen effect, changes from red-brown to golden-green.

The image of the 500 ruble banknote of the Bank of Russia of the modification of 2001 differs from the sample of 1997 only in ultraviolet light.
And yet, on the front side of the modified banknote, to the right of the embossed signs for people with visual impairments, there is the text "MODIFICATION 2001", which is located vertically.

500 ruble banknote of the Bank of Russia, sample 1997, modification 2004

left side of the banknote 500 rubles modification 2004

the reverse side of the banknote 500 rubles modification 2004

The modified banknote has a format, color and plot design similar to the 1997 banknote of the Bank of Russia.

• the digital designation of the denomination is printed in gray ink;


• images of the banknote in ultraviolet and infrared light differ from the banknote of the 1997 sample.

New signs of authenticity have also been introduced:

• 2 - A metalized diving security thread has been introduced into the paper, five sections of which come to the surface of the banknote from the reverse side. In transmitted light (through transmission), the security thread looks like a continuous dark stripe;


• 6 - Security fibers of four types are randomly arranged in paper: red, light green, two-color and gray. Two-color security fibers are perceived as violet to the naked eye. Red and light green have a red and yellow-green glow in UV rays, respectively. On two-color fibers, areas of red color have a red glow.


• 12 – Microperforation - when looking at a banknote against a light source, an image of the number 500 is observed, formed by absolutely even parallel rows of microholes. The paper at the location of micro-holes should not be perceived as rough.


• 11 - Hidden moiré stripes (MVC) - Security fibers of four types are randomly located in the paper: red, light green, two-tone and gray. Two-color security fibers are perceived as violet to the naked eye. Red and light green have a red and yellow-green glow in UV rays, respectively.

left side of the banknote 500 rubles modification 2010

the reverse side of the banknote 500 rubles modification 2010

The new banknote of 500 rubles already has significant changes in its protective properties, therefore, descriptions of all are given for it:

Signs of authenticity controlled through the light

• 1 - Combined watermark. It is located on the right coupon field and includes a half-tone watermark (portrait of Peter I) and a filigree watermark adjacent to it - the digital designation of the face value (number 500). A filigree watermark has areas lighter than paper and a halftone watermark. It is distinguished by the presence of dark strokes that shade the numbers and create the effect of their volume.


• 2 - Security thread. A metalized security thread 5 mm wide with a periodically repeating image (the number "500" in upright and inverted inscription and a rhombus) made by demetallization is embedded in the paper. On the reverse side of the banknote, the security thread looks like a gray stripe with dark repeating numbers "500" separated by diamonds. In the light, the numbers and rhombuses look light on a dark field.


• 12 – Microperforation. When examining a banknote against a light source, to the right of the image of the sailboat, the number "500" is observed, made by absolutely even parallel rows of micro-holes, impalpable to the touch.

Signs of authenticity controlled using x8-x10 magnifier

• 4.1 - Micropattern. These are drawings of thin lines located in the center of the front side of the banknote, as well as on the reverse side of the banknote in the upper and lower parts of the coupon fields. To the naked eye, they are perceived as a flat field.


• 4.2 - An image formed by small graphic elements. The image of the building of the sea station in the city of Arkhangelsk consists of separate small graphic elements.


• 5.1 - Positive microtext (repeated number 500). At the top of the banknote there is a positive microtext in the form of fourteen lines of the repeated number "500".


• 5.2 - Microtext - transition from negative to positive (repetitive text "TsBRF500"). At the bottom of the banknote there is a microtext in the form of six stripes with the repeating text "CBRF500", which is made - with a transition from negative to positive, and from left to right.


• 5.3 - Microtext on the border of the decorative ribbon (repeating number 500, separated by a dot). On the upper and lower borders of the image of the decorative ribbon there is microtext in the form of repeated numbers "500", separated by dots.


• 6 - Security fibers embedded in paper. Security fibers of two types are randomly arranged in the paper: two-color fibers of variable cross section with alternating sections of red and blue, and gray fibers. Under the influence of UV light, areas of red color have a red glow. Blue areas and gray fibers do not glow under UV light.


• 8 - Colorless embossing. Thin colorful strokes located along the left edge of the front side of the banknote, as well as strokes at the end of the text "Bank of Russia Ticket" turn into colorless embossing.

Signs of authenticity controlled by changing the angle of view

• 2.1 - The effect of changing the image on the security thread. On a fragment of a security thread that comes out on the surface of the paper - on the front side of the banknote in a figured window ("stained glass window"), when the banknote is tilted, either repeated images of the numbers "500" separated by rhombuses or an iridescent sheen without an image are visible.


• 7 - Hidden image of the letters "PP" (Kipp - effect). When the banknote is viewed at an acute angle to the surface, against the light source, the letters "PP" become visible on the decorative ribbon. Depending on the position of the banknote, the letters will appear light on a dark background or dark on a light background.


• 11 - Hidden multi-color image (number "500"). On a monochromatic field, when the banknote is tilted, the number "500" appears, each digit of which has its own color. When turning the banknote (without changing the angle of view), the color of each number changes.


• 11.1 - Hidden multicolor image when exposed to UV light. Under the influence of UV light on a monochromatic field, when the banknote is tilted, the number "500" appears, each digit of which has its own color. When turning the banknote (without changing the angle of view), the color of each number changes.

Signs of authenticity controlled by touch (raised relief)

• 9.1 - The inscription "TICKET OF THE BANK OF RUSSIA" - has a high relief, perceived by touch.


• 9.2 - Label for visually impaired people - has an increased relief, perceived by touch.


• 9.3 - Emblem of the Bank of Russia - has a high relief, perceived by touch.


• 9.4 - Thin embossed strokes, located along the edges of the coupon fields of the front side of the banknote, have an increased relief, perceived by touch.

At the very beginning of 1998, during the denomination, banknotes of a new sample, created on the basis of banknotes of 1995, entered circulation. In total, 5 denominations were issued - 5 rubles, 10 rubles, 50 rubles, 100 rubles and 500 rubles. In subsequent years, banknotes of an increased denomination were added - 1000 rubles (in 2001) and 5000 rubles (in 2006). Of the banknotes of the 1995 sample, only the denomination of 1000 rubles was not taken, since it was impractical to issue a paper note of 1 ruble.

The design theme of banknotes of the 1997 sample remained the same - the cities of Russia. Each denomination is dedicated to a certain city - 5 rubles - Veliky Novgorod, 10 rubles - Krasnoyarsk, 50 rubles - St. Petersburg, 100 rubles - Moscow, 500 rubles - Arkhangelsk, 1000 rubles - Yaroslavl, 5000 rubles - Khabarovsk.

The 1997 banknotes would have had virtually no collector's value if it were not for the addition of additional degrees of protection to their design, which for collectors means the appearance of unique varieties of banknotes. Changes were made in 2001 for all denominations, in 2004 for all denominations, in 2010 for denominations of 500, 1000 and 5000 rubles. In general, in 2010 there were changes not only in security features, but also quite significant changes in the design and color of banknotes.

It is easy to find out which period the banknote belongs to if you look at the front side of the border between the left white field and the colored center below. In the indicated place you will find in small print the vertical word "modification" with the year. If there is no such word, then this means that the banknote was issued before 2001, i.e. not modified yet.

Due to the fact that paper money has a very short period of circulation in circulation, banknotes of the previous modification do not stay in circulation for long, literally in 2-3 years they are almost completely replaced by new counterparts. As a result, the demand for obsolete banknotes has raised their value in the collectors' market. At first glance, a quite ordinary banknote today can cost several of its denominations.

Below you can see full list rare and not very rare modern banknotes of Russia with market prices. Please note that in fact there is only demand for banknotes in the “press” state, some banknotes from circulation, although they have a value higher than their face value, but so far there are not so many who want to buy them. But in the future, they may and will be in demand by novice collectors (images taken from cbr.ru).
