100 Russian Rubles Banknote (2018 Fifa World Cup)

100 Rubley Ruble (Issued 2018)

The 100 Rubley banknote issued in 2018 represents Russia’s commitment to modernising its currency design whilst maintaining the traditional engraving standards associated with the Central Bank of Russia. This denomination entered circulation during a period when the Russian Federation was refreshing its entire banknote series with enhanced security features and thematic imagery celebrating national achievement. The note exemplifies contemporary security printing technology, integrating multiple anti-counterfeiting measures within a cohesive visual design. Released as part of the ongoing currency modernisation programme, this banknote reflects contemporary printing capabilities and updated iconographic themes.

On the front, the banknote displays a pale blue-green background with substantial architectural and sporting imagery. The denomination “100” appears prominently in large teal-coloured numerals in the upper right corner, with matching numerals in the lower left. The text “БИЛЕТ БАНКА РОССИИ” (Banknote of the Bank of Russia) is positioned across the top in Cyrillic script, whilst “СТО РУБЛЕЙ” (One Hundred Roubles) runs across the lower section. The central design features a detailed engraved portrait of a young athlete viewed from behind, rendered in fine line engraving with exceptional anatomical precision. Above the portrait sits an architectural structure, and integrated into the composition is a spherical object rendered in blue tones, suggesting a sports-related theme. A bright green geometric square element appears prominently within the design. Security features include a holographic security strip running vertically, and a QR code is visible in the lower right area. The overall colour palette transitions from pale blue at the edges to warmer yellow-green tones toward the centre.

The reverse maintains the same colour palette of pale blue-green with complementary yellow and green tones. The denomination “100” in large numerals is positioned in the upper left, with “СТО РУБЛЕЙ” text below. The central image showcases an intricately engraved globe or spherical form rendered in blue and grey, depicting geographical features and landmasses. The Bank of Russia text “БИЛЕТ БАНКА РОССИИ” appears at the top. A serial number sequence is clearly visible on the left margin in black text. Additional security elements include geometric pattern work and fine guilloché engraving throughout the background. A smaller denomination marking appears in the bottom right. The reverse demonstrates the same high standard of intaglio engraving visible on the obverse, with particular attention to the dimensional rendering of the spherical imagery and fine-line pattern work creating the foundation of the design.
