  • Rs. 400.00


3 Ruble banknote of the Soviet Union (1922-1991) printed in 1961. The obverse has a view of the Kremlin in Moscow (now the capital of Russia). The reverse carries the denomination in multiple languages including Russian, Ukrainian, Byelorussian, Uzbek, Kazakh and others - languages of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union. The banknote has an asymmetrical disposition - meaning the layout or arrangement of elements (portraits, text, seal) is not balanced or mirrored on both sides around the central vertical axis. 

The USSR was formed in 1922, through a treaty that united various constituent parts of the Russian Empire, and lasted till 1991. The USSR became a global power during the World War II, when it did much of the fighting against German led Axis powers. It was finally dissolved in 1991 into fifteen constituent republics. 

3 is an uncommon denomination - banknotes usually move in denominations of 1-2-5-10. However, USSR and many of its East European satellite states had banknotes in the denomination of 3. This was to make transactions easier - many everyday items were priced in multiples of 3.
