They will discuss symbols for the 500-ruble banknote dedicated to the North Caucasus Federal District and the city of Pyatigorsk, and determine the final list of objects for online voting.

Each participant in the public vote will then be asked to select one symbol for the front of the banknote and another for the back. The list for the front will include landmarks of Pyatigorsk, while the list for the back will feature famous monuments, historical and modern buildings, and cultural heritage sites from various regions of the district. Based on the voting results, a ranking of the symbols will be compiled, which artists from the Bank of Russia and Goznak will use in developing the banknote's design.

The event will take place at the National Center "Russia" at the following address: Moscow, Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Building 14. Accreditation journalists will continue until September 26 inclusive.
