100 Russian Rubles Banknote (Sochi 2014)

100 Rubley Ruble (Issued 2014)

In 2014, Russia issued a series of commemorative banknotes marking two significant national events: the Winter Olympics held in Sochi and the political developments surrounding Crimea. The Central Bank of Russia produced these special circulation notes as part of its broader monetary programme during this pivotal period in Russian history. The 100 Rubley denomination became one of the most recognisable notes from this commemorative series, featuring designs that reflected the Olympic Games and regional significance of that year.

On the front, the banknote displays a striking composition dominated by a sculpture of an athlete in dynamic pose, rendered in deep blue engraving across a pale cyan and cream background. The figure appears to be captured mid-motion, suggesting athletic endeavour and movement. The Central Bank of Russia’s name appears in Cyrillic text as “БИЛЕТ БАНКА РОССИИ” at the top of the note. The denomination “100” is positioned in the upper right corner in large teal numerals, with “СТО РУБЛЕЙ” (one hundred roubles) printed beneath in matching blue text. A vertical security strip runs down the left side of the note, featuring microprinted patterns and colour-shifting elements. The serial number is printed in red on the right margin, reading “9858564” in the visible example. The bottom right corner contains the year “2014” and small Bank of Russia insignia. The overall design incorporates geometric diamond patterns and subtle guilloché work creating depth across the turquoise and pale yellow colour transitions.

The reverse continues the commemorative Olympic theme with a golden eagle figure displayed prominently in the upper portion against a pale lavender and cream background. Below this imagery appears a stylised representation of a curling stone or similar sporting equipment, rendered in blue tones. The same denomination “100” is printed in the upper right in teal, with “СТО РУБЛЕЙ” repeated at the bottom in blue text. Fine microprinting and geometric patterns fill the background, creating visual security elements and textural interest. The colour palette shifts from cool blues and purples in the upper sections to warmer cream and pale yellow tones towards the lower portion of the note. A dark blue security oval is visible in the lower central area, and additional security elements appear throughout the design.
