500 rubles reverse side what is shown. Bank of Russia banknote "500 rubles": main features and how to check for authenticity. rubles: the image of the northern capital

We deal with money almost every day: we use it to pay in stores, gas stations, public transport, bars and restaurants. But how often do we look at domestic paper bills? The main character of our article will be the Russian 500 ruble banknote, which we will closely examine and study to the smallest detail!

A little history...

This banknote has several unofficial names: “pyatihatka”, “petenka”, “violet”. The latter nickname is obviously related to the dominant color of the banknote. In Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel “The White Guard” you can find another interesting name: “Peter”.

The first 500-ruble banknote in Russian history was issued in 1898. At that time it was the largest in terms of face value in the empire. Over the next hundred years, the design of the banknote was changed eight more times.

It is curious that banknotes in denominations of five hundred rubles were issued not only by the central (official) government of the country. At the same time, such banknotes were printed in several separatist entities within modern Russia that existed in the 20s of the twentieth century (for example, in the Far Eastern Republic or the Don Circle).

500 ruble banknote: photo and brief description

The design of the banknote we are interested in was developed in 1997, although it is almost identical to the 1995 banknote with a face value of 500 thousand rubles. Throughout its existence, it has experienced four releases (in 1998, 2001, 2004 and 2011). In appearance, all these bills are not much different.

Size of a 500 ruble bill: 150 by 65 millimeters. Color – purple. The bill itself is made of cotton paper with red, green and light purple fibers.

The left side of the bill is decorated with a vertically oriented colored ornament (on the reverse it is located on the right side). Both sides of the banknote indicate its denomination (number and letters). In the upper left corner of the obverse there is a double-headed eagle with a semicircular inscription in a brown circle: “Bank of Russia”.

What is shown on the 500 ruble banknote

The 500 Russian ruble banknote is dedicated to the harsh but picturesque northern region - Pomerania. In this regard, the color design of the banknote in purple tones looks very organic and appropriate. So, which city’s sights are depicted on the 500 ruble banknote?

The front side of the banknote is entirely dedicated Arkhangelsk. This is one of the largest northern cities on the planet, the administrative center of the region of the same name with a population of about 350 thousand people. Arkhangelsk is the most important center of northern culture and northern traditions of the Pomeranian region.

The obverse of the 500-ruble bill depicts a real monument to Peter the Great in Arkhangelsk. At the feet of the monument flutters a ribbon with the name of the city. And in the background there is a sea and river station of Arkhangelsk.

On the back of the banknote you can see a panorama Solovetsky Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery from the side of the Holy Lake. An ancient two-masted koch is floating along the water surface of the lake - a traditional means of transportation for the inhabitants of Pomerania in the past. By the way, this ship is no longer on the reverse of the 2011 banknote.

Attractions on Pyatikhatka

Between Arkhangelsk and the Solovetsky Monastery - about 250 kilometers. But in your wallet, these two geographical objects can be very close, you just have to turn the 500 ruble bill over to the other side!

The Arkhangelsk monument to Peter the Great, which adorns the front side of the “pyatikhatka”, was inaugurated back in 1914. Its author was the famous sculptor Mark Antokolsky. By the way, exactly the same statue adorns the city of Taganrog. Monks from the Solovetsky Monastery worked on the manufacture of the pedestal for the monument in Arkhangelsk.

With the advent of Soviet power, the monument to Peter the Great was toppled from its pedestal, and in its place a grandiose monument to the victims of the intervention was erected. For a long time, the statue of the emperor lay on the banks of the Northern Dvina. And only after the war it was reinstalled on the city embankment.

In the background of the 500-ruble bill is depicted sea-river station of the city of Arkhangelsk. A huge white building for it was built in the early 70s of the last century.

The reverse of the “pyatihatka” is dedicated to the most famous landmark of the Russian North. The reverse side depicts the Solovetsky Monastery - the largest Orthodox monastery with an interesting and difficult fate. The monastery was founded back in 1436, and from the 16th century until 1939 it operated as a prison. Among the most famous prisoners in its history are Count Pyotr Tolstoy, Ukrainian chieftain Pyotr Kalnyshevsky, philosopher Alexander Meyer and others.

Solovetsky Monastery on the banknote and in reality: funny differences

There are several very interesting points associated with the image of the Solovetsky Monastery on the 500-ruble banknote. First of all, on the banknote the shrine is depicted in a dilapidated, dilapidated state and without a single dome. The monastery remained in this form in the mid-twentieth century. Most likely, the author used an old Soviet photo complex when creating the drawing.

By the way, this error has already been corrected on the 2011 banknote.

The tallest building of the complex– the bell tower – in Soviet times it was crowned with a five-pointed star. But for some reason the author decided to replace it with a cross, which was installed on the tip of the dome only in 1992.

The third drawing error is large sea vessel, which is rushing “in full sail” towards the monastery walls. But in reality, the Holy Lake depicted on the banknote is too small for such a ship. Its width does not exceed three hundred meters. In addition, the reservoir is in no way connected with the White Sea.

Another interesting detail: the two-masted ship in the picture is driven by a man in a black robe, who looks very similar to a monk.

Fake banknotes

“Counterfeiting of Bank of Russia notes is punishable by law”- such a warning can be seen in the lower left corner of any 500-ruble bill. However, this does not stop attackers at all.

As a rule, banknotes with denominations of 5, 10, 50 or 100 rubles are counterfeited extremely rarely. But the chance of encountering fake “five-hat cars” in our country is very high. This is understandable: the risk in this case is more justified.

To puzzle scammers, the Central Bank of Russia periodically updates and modifies its banknotes. For example, the 500-ruble bill has gone through four such modifications in its history. Moreover, the latest of them (2011) is considered among experts to be the most protected from counterfeiting.

How to distinguish a counterfeit 500 ruble banknote from 1997? To do this, you need to pick it up, carefully examine it and feel the material thoroughly. Below are the five most obvious signs by which you can identify a counterfeit banknote:


However, attackers are often very cunning and inventive in their dirty work. The signs of authenticity of the “five-house” will be discussed in more detail below.

How to recognize a counterfeit 500 ruble bill

The Bank of Russia identifies five groups of signs by which one can determine whether a banknote is real or counterfeit. So, there are the following controlled signs of authenticity:

  • to the light;
  • using a magnifying glass;
  • when the angle of view changes;
  • to the touch;
  • using special machines.

What to do with a counterfeit bill

Every year, several thousand fake “five-hat” cars are discovered in the Russian Federation. Most of them were identified in 2013 - about 7.5 thousand! What should you do if you find counterfeit banknotes in your wallet? How to behave?

It’s worth mentioning right away that in Russia, according to current legislation, both the production and sale and storage of counterfeit banknotes are criminally punishable. The biggest mistake people make when detecting counterfeit bills is when they deliberately try to get rid of them in a store or bank. Indeed, in this case, everything can end for a person with the drawing up of a police report.

The most correct step would be to contact the police with a corresponding statement. In this case, you must indicate in your application where exactly you got the counterfeit money. Of course, getting compensation for your damages in this case will not be easy. But you are unlikely to end up in the dock either. If you don’t want to waste your precious time going to the police, then you can simply destroy the counterfeit banknotes: burn them or tear them into small fragments.

If you are not sure of the authenticity of your money, you can contact your nearest bank for help. There you can order a special examination for verification, however, this service is usually paid.
