The updated hundred-ruble banknote, which was presented and put into circulation on Thursday, June 30, has a secret sign encrypted. The clock on the Spasskaya Tower, which is depicted on the front side of the banknote, shows the time of 20 hours 22 minutes. This value was not accidental. The designers encrypted in it the year of issue of the new hundred-ruble note – 2022, Izvestia suggested. The press service of the Central Bank confirmed that this is exactly the case.
Thus, the year of issue is twice indicated on the new one hundred rubles: on the reverse side directly and in numbers, on the front side – in encrypted form by indicating the time on the clock of the Spasskaya Tower.
The front side of the updated banknote depicts the Spasskaya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin, Zaryadye Park, the Ostankino and Shukhov Towers, the Moscow State University building on Sparrow Hills. On the back, as Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank Sergei Belov said at the presentation, the main image was the Rzhev Memorial to the Soviet Soldier, the largest monument erected in modern Russia. In the background of the new banknote, the Kulikovo Field Museum-Reserve is depicted.
In addition to the artistically dominant sights of the district, the reverse side also contains microimages (inscriptions and small graphic elements) on a stylized map of the district. In particular, Tula samovars and gingerbread are represented there.
The updated hundred-ruble note contains a QR code, by scanning which you can get to the Central Bank page with detailed information about the updated banknote.
