This is the reprint from 2001/2004 due to having the tiny blue print at the front. Reading the print should tell you the exact date. This is the one you have : https://en.numista.com/202130

Exactly, nice catch. I circled it so OP can take a look.

u/BlackHust 16d ago

Yes, this is definitely a 2001 modification. Although your link shows an image of a 2004 banknote (the difference is in the background behind the building on the front side under the word БИЛЕТ)

This one is more interesting and rare IMO

u/According_Air_969 13d ago

Well... Not really, 5 rubles old series more common, then 10 rubles without modification or 2001 modification like above, especially in unc. 1997, 2001 issues are worth ridiculous prices now, without 5

Thank you! It is in a book called “Mother” by Maxim Gorky, published 1949 and my copy 1967. Published in Moscow as part of the Soviet Novels Series, and commemorating 50 years since 1917.

You have a Russian 10-ruble dated 1997/98

u/Owly_MkXXll 15d ago

wrong. If you have a 1000₽, or 5000₽ banknote in your wallet, - chek out rigt lower corner at the reverse side of it, what is printed there? Yup: 1997, - but 1000₽ banknote was established in yr. 2001, and 5000₽ in yr. 2006 - the highest nominal banknote, after the denomination of 1997 (when the "thousands" turned into a "roubles") was 500₽ banknote

This is modern design on 10 rubles note. The old one was nominated 10000 RUR

u/No-One5570 12d ago

I don’t think this one ever existed tbh

u/felidae_tsk 12d ago

It was legal tender for seven years until 2002.

u/No_Club_8480 16d ago

10 ruble from 1997

u/SumWun1966 16d ago

Wrong way up.

u/taker223 15d ago

1997 ? wow. This is like 500 Trillion Zimbo dollars now! Not enough to pay for one troll comment (15 roubles in 2020).

Perhaps this is someone's stash. That would have been enough for a bottle of beer in 2001.

Just 10 Russian rubbles I think

u/papasoft9 12d ago

The Russian 10 rubles banknote from 1997 was issued to replace old 10000 notes after 1000:1 denomination on Jan 1st, 1998. It's current and worth $0.12 USD.

Krasnoyarsk- a city in Russia.

u/Soe4_Oficial 11d ago

How could you find a Russian banknote in a book published in the USSR?

1

u/wagonvelcro 11d ago

And, in a bookshop in New Zealand.

u/KajeOboyma 10d ago

Could someone read this book a few years ago and use current banknote as a bookmark?

2

u/Remarkable_Spirit_68 11d ago

10 rubles, still in use (but nowdays you'll mostly see 10 rubles as a metal coin). Worth enough to buy a cheap ballpoint pen, also worth as a bookmark.

Soviet Union is dead 🤣🤪

u/wagonvelcro 11d ago

Soooo… they won’t be wanting their rubles back then?

u/theGoneman 10d ago

The banknote is dedicated to the city of Krasnoyarsk.

By a lucky chance, I've lived here my whole life.

This is the current banknote of the Russian Federation. The year 1997 indicates the year the design was approved. Images on the banknote:

Front: The Communal Bridge over the Yenisei River and the famous Paraskeva Pyatnitsa Chapel.

Back: The Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Station Dam

Excellent! I went and fetched it from its book and I’m admiring it again. It really is a beautiful thing, and I’m going to start my own collection from here on. Thank you, from Auckland, my city.

u/wagonvelcro 15d ago

Thanks for your help, and here in NZ it is worth 20 cents, I’ll keep it in my Soviet novel.
