100 Roubles

Russia's 100-rouble note was substantially redesigned in 2022, part of an ongoing program to refresh the series with updated security features and revised imagery reflecting post-Crimea political geography. The timing placed this particular printing squarely within the period of Western sanctions imposed after February 2022, which created real complications for Goznak — several foreign suppliers of security paper components and specialty inks had become unavailable, pushing the enterprise toward domestic substitution in parts of the production chain.

Goznak's Moscow facility has printed Russian banknotes continuously since the Tsarist period. The absence of the holographic stripe found on earlier high-denomination issues is notable here — colour-shifting ink carries the primary optical security load instead.
