| Additional information |
The 1991 Gosbank rouble belongs to the final series issued before the Soviet collapse, produced during a period when the USSR's monetary system was already fracturing under competing republican currencies and a collapsing command economy. Lithuania had declared independence in March 1990; by late 1991 several republics were issuing their own transitional coupons. These roubles were still rolling off the presses as the union dissolved around them.
Gosbank itself ceased to exist in December 1991, replaced by the central banks of the successor states.
