₽1000 — One Thousand Rubles
The artwork
Front: A monumental sail rises from a granite plinth inside a shaped frame — the memorial to the fighters for Soviet power in the Far East, which stands on the main square of Vladivostok. Behind it, the working harbour: quays, gantry cranes, moored ships and the hills of the city stacked above the water. "БИЛЕТ БАНКА РОССИИ" across the top, the double-headed eagle of the Bank of Russia at the upper left, and the city named in a small cartouche: ВЛАДИВОСТОК.
Back: Sea stacks off the Pacific coast near Vladivostok, engraved in fine line: two weathered pillars of rock standing out of calm water, with a headland behind carrying a small light, and a steamer passing on the horizon. The wash of pale green and rose behind the rock suggests early light. Denomination in the corners, ТЫСЯЧА РУБЛЕЙ along the foot, and the date 1995 at the lower right.
In circulation
Part of the 1995 "cities" series, in which each denomination carried a Russian town. It circulated until the redenomination of 1 January 1998, when a thousand old roubles became one new one; the design was withdrawn and no 1000-rouble note existed again until the Yaroslavl note of 2001.
