Reverse description The reverse presents an intaglio vignette of Niasviž Castle based on a drawing by Napoleon Orda, showing the fortified complex with towers surmounted by crosses within a landscape composition set on a light guilloche underprint. The Belarusian denomination inscription «СТО ТЫСЯЧ РУБЛЁЎ» appears in large letterpress along the lower portion of the note, with the numeral 100 000 also present. A cautionary anti-counterfeiting legend runs along the lower margin, and an attribution inscription identifies the Orda drawing as the source of the architectural vignette.

Comments

Belarus redenominated in 2000, slashing six zeros from the rouble — which means this 100,000-rouble note was the equivalent of just 10 roubles in the new series. The sheer scale of nominal inflation it embodies traces directly to the economic collapse that followed Soviet dissolution, when Belarus lacked the stabilization mechanisms that neighbouring states managed, however imperfectly, to implement.

The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field is almost certainly a catalog data error. No plausible interpretation connects that date to this note.
