The 1 Ruble banknote issued in 2000 by the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus was part of the monetary reform introducing the second ruble, where 1 new ruble equaled 1,000 old rubles. The obverse features the National Academy of Sciences building in Minsk, representing the country’s intellectual and scientific progress. The reverse displays an intricate ornamental rosette centered around the denomination “1”, designed in a traditional Belarusian style.
Printed on paper by Goznak (Russia), the banknote includes a hexagonal pattern watermark but no security thread. It is relatively small, measuring 110 x 60 mm, and is mainly brown and green in color. This banknote was withdrawn from circulation and demonetized on 31 December 2003, making it a collectible item for those interested in post-Soviet numismatics.
