| Comments |
This note belongs to the 2016 redenomination series, in which Belarus effectively lopped four zeros off its currency — 100 old roubles became 1 new kopek. The scale of that collapse reflects over two decades of chronic inflation following independence, with the rouble having depreciated so severely that the pre-reform 100,000-rouble note was the workaday grocery-shopping denomination.
Thomas De La Rue handled the printing contract, as they did for much of the new series. The security specification is notably lean for a De La Rue production of this period — watermark and thread only, with none of the optically variable elements more common in their higher-value contemporaries from the same issue.
