75 Roubles Black text

Belarus issued this note in 1992 during the chaotic transitional period after independence, when the country briefly used Russian roubles before introducing its own currency. The Belarusian rouble was introduced that year as a parallel currency alongside Russian roubles — initially treated as coupons rather than full legal tender. The unusual 75-rouble denomination sits in a bracket that reflects coupon-era thinking rather than any conventional monetary logic.

The A-prefix in the Pick reference signals the note was catalogued retrospectively, having been overlooked or misclassified in earlier editions.
