It's starting online voting for symbols for the new 500-ruble banknote. The banknote is dedicated to the North Caucasus Federal District and its capital, Pyatigorsk. The vote is being held with the support of the National Center "Russia."
Each voter will have to choose two symbols: one for the front of the banknote – from the landmarks of Pyatigorsk; one for the back – from the landmarks of the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District. All symbols received OK experts Banknote Advisory Council.
The landmarks that receive the most votes will be used by artists from the Bank of Russia and Goznak to create the banknote's design. The banknote's design includes foreground and background images, as well as background images and micrographics. All of these will be positioned on the banknote, taking into account the banknote's security features. The final design will be approved by the Bank of Russia's Board of Directors.
The new 500-ruble banknote will join other banknotes that have undergone modernization. They are designed according to a unified concept: one banknote represents one federal district. The updated 100- and 5,000-ruble notes are already in circulation. At the end of the year, the Bank of Russia will introduce the 1,000-ruble note with a new design.
Voting will end on October 14 at 12:00 Moscow time.
