100 Russian Rubles Banknote (Crimea 2015)

100 Rubley Ruble (Issued 2015)

The Bank of Russia, formally established as the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, serves as the nation’s primary monetary authority and has maintained this role throughout the post-Soviet period. As the sole institution authorised to issue currency within Russian territory, the Bank of Russia designs and produces all banknotes in circulation to maintain financial stability and security across the federation. The 100 Rubley commemorative banknote issued in 2015 represents the bank’s commitment to marking significant national events through numismatic design. This particular denomination was released as part of a commemorative series acknowledging the Sochi Winter Olympics and related developments within the Russian Federation.

On the front of the banknote, a prominent monument dominates the central composition, rendered in fine engraving with considerable detail. The monument depicts a classical sculptural group positioned on a rocky outcrop, with an ornate architectural pedestal rising behind it. To the left side, industrial structures and factory buildings are visible in soft greenish and blue tones, creating a landscape that extends across the lower portion of the design. The right side features neoclassical buildings rendered in pale green, contributing to a balanced architectural representation. The denomination appears three times on this face: once as large numerals “100” in the upper right corner, again at the bottom centre, and once more at the lower left. The text “БИЛЕТ БАНКА РОССИИ” (Banknote of the Bank of Russia) is printed across the top in uppercase letters. The denomination text “сто рублей” (one hundred rubles) appears at the bottom in serif typeface against a tan background panel. A security strip runs vertically, and the serial number is printed twice on the left margin in blue ink. The overall colour palette transitions from cream and buff tones to pale greens and blues throughout the design, with brown and rust-coloured numerals providing contrast.

The reverse side features a distinctive architectural structure as its primary image: a tall, ornate tower with multiple tiers and crenellations, positioned prominently on a rocky cliff formation. This romanticised medieval-style building is rendered with meticulous engraving, displaying intricate stonework and architectural detail. To the right of the tower, additional buildings including structures with domed roofs and spires form a skyline that extends into the background. The lower portion of the reverse contains a stylised representation of what appears to be a naval vessel or boat in green and grey tones, suggesting maritime heritage. Denomination numerals “100” appear in the upper left and lower left corners in brown ink. The text “БИЛЕТ БАНКА РОССИИ” is repeated across the top, and “сто рублей” appears again at the bottom. The colour scheme on the reverse emphasises greens and pale blues, with the architectural engravings creating strong linear patterns across the composition. Fine guilloché patterning and background texture elements create visual security throughout both sides of the note.
