The Bank of Russia begins issuing a modernized 1000 ruble banknote. The new banknote is dedicated to Nizhny Novgorod and the Volga Federal District, the press service of the Central Bank reports.
The front side depicts the Nikolskaya Tower of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin. On the reverse side are the Saratov automobile bridge, the Meteor-120R hydrofoil and the Palace of Farmers in Kazan. The banknote retains the traditional turquoise color scheme.
The main innovation, in addition to the design, was a reinforced set of protective elements. For ease of authentication, a QR code was applied to the banknote, which leads to the Bank of Russia page with a detailed description of the signs of authenticity and decoration.
The new banknote is legal tender throughout the country and must be accepted without restrictions. It will go into circulation gradually and will circulate on a par with thousand-ruble banknotes of the 1997 model.
