₽10000 — Ten Thousand Rubles
The artwork
Front: The heading reads БИЛЕТ БАНКА РОССИИ, with the Bank of Russia's double-headed eagle at upper left. The vignette looks across the Yenisei at Krasnoyarsk: the long arched Kommunalny Bridge, a river steamer, the industrial skyline behind. Standing proud of it on the guilloche panel is the little tent-roofed Chapel of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa on Karaulnaya Hill, the city's emblem. Below, КРАСНОЯРСК and ДЕСЯТЬ ТЫСЯЧ РУБЛЕЙ.
Back: The Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric dam on the Yenisei, seen downstream from a wooded bank with birch and fir framing the view — the great curved wall of the spillway, the powerhouse and switchyard strung along the water. Denomination in numerals three times and spelt out along the foot, with the year 1995 in the lower right corner in red.
In circulation
Issued in the 1995 series, the last rouble notes before redenomination. It circulated until the 1998 reform struck three zeros from the currency; the same Krasnoyarsk design reappeared, essentially unchanged, as the 10-rouble note of the 1997 series, and the old 10,000 was exchanged at 1,000 to one.
