Not a single person is immune from situations in which they fall into their hands. Unfortunately, every year the number of counterfeit banknotes increases, which makes them show attentiveness and accuracy. Most often there are fake 500 rubles. The banknote is widespread in circulation and does not attract attention as much as 1000 or 5000 rubles. It is simply not profitable for fraudsters to counterfeit money of a lower face value.

Distinctive characteristics of counterfeits

Money experts emphasize that the authenticity of a 500-ruble note should be checked with signs of forgery. For example, the crunch of genuine and counterfeit money is almost the same, but the surface relief will differ significantly. Fakes are smooth to the touch, but real bills are rough. Counterfeit money is either completely absent or has an unconventional design. They can be very dark or blurry. If there is a magnetic thread, it is very sloppy. A silvery stripe running over the numbers in the denomination of the banknote is a clear sign of a forgery. It is especially worth looking at the small letters, which are practically indistinguishable from counterfeit money. Microperforation is done with a conventional needle, and not with a laser, in accordance with the technology.

Common signs of real money

Most often, fraudsters try to forge money in denominations of 500 rubles, 1000 and 5000. This is due to the fact that counterfeiting a 100-ruble bill promises small benefits, and the risk of punishment remains very high. According to the instructions of the Bank of Russia, a banknote of 500 rubles, in fact, like bills of a different denomination, must have the following characteristic parameters:

The top and bottom of the ornamental tape on the obverse should be framed with lines of microtext that are very easy to see even at low magnification.
In some parts of the security thread, which is visible on the surface of the banknote in the area of the curly-shaped window, if you tilt the banknote, you can see repeating numbers that determine the denomination of the money. They are usually separated by rhombuses or iridescent glitter without any image.
There are thin strokes on the outskirts of the coupon fields of the banknote. They are designed for people with poor eyesight and have a high relief that is easy to perceive by touch.
The monotonous green field is decorated with blue and yellow stripes that can be seen if you tilt the bill.
If we consider 500 rubles, the bill against the light source will be decorated with the number "500". It is worth looking for it on the right side of the coat of arms. The numerical value is made of even parallel rows of micro-holes that are not felt to the touch.

General individual characteristics 500 rubles

Each banknote of Russia is characterized by the presence of individual characteristics. If you study 500 rubles, the bill should have the following features:

The main color of the banknote is purple.
Let's pay attention to the fact that the city on the 500 ruble note is Arkhangelsk. The front side should be decorated with a monument with a sailing ship and the building of the Marine and River Station. The reverse side of the banknote is decorated with the Solovetsky Monastery.
When examining the banknote at an angle, in the area of a one-color field, the number "500" appears. Each digit of the number has its own color. By turning the banknote, but without changing the angle of view, you can see how the numbers change their shades.
On the watermark in the form of Peter I, there are both light areas and dark areas that smoothly flow into each other. Near the portrait there is a number "500", which is a tone lighter than the portrait itself.
On the reverse side of the banknote, in the area of the security thread, you can see the repeating number "500", which is separated by rhombuses. If we consider the gap under the rays of light, then the numbers will be light on a dark background.
The image of the seaport is assembled from individual graphic details.

1997 banknotes

Like all monetary units, 500 rubles - a bill issued in 1997 and put into circulation in 1998, has its own protective signs. There are about 12 of them, 4 of which can be seen with the help of special equipment. In addition to the main parameters inherent for each 500-ruble banknote, we can talk about the following features:

The presence of a multi-tone watermark.
The security thread has a thickness of 1 millimeter, and on it is a combination of letters and numbers "CBR 500".
When examining a banknote in the light, one can pay attention to the complementarity of the drawings on the front and back sides.
The ornamental ribbon in the light and at different angles will have the inscription "PP". Letters can be either light on a dark background, or vice versa.
The denomination is equipped with protective violet, red and green fibers, the arrangement of which has no regularity.
The presence of relief inscriptions: "Ticket of the Bank of Russia" and two dots, two stripes.
The banknote of 500 rubles in 1997 is protected by a micro-pattern, which is not visible to the naked eye. When copying a banknote, moire appears in the form of dark and light patterns.
The presence of two microtexts: "500" and "CBR 500".
The text of the emblem and digital denomination changes from brown to greenish when tilted.

2001 modifications

The old-style 500 ruble bill (1997) practically coincides in format, plot and color scheme with the 2001 modification. The only innovation is the embossed inscription "Modification 2001" It is located in the same place as the other elements for the visually impaired. The main difference between the old and the new banknote is the machine-readable authenticity features. Under ultraviolet light, the background glow of the paper is absent, and the gray elements glow green. Such manipulations did not bring results, and counterfeit bills of 500 rubles did not appear less often in everyday life. This forced the government to issue new banknotes in 2004 and 2010.

2004 modifications

In 2004, the Russian government issued new 500-ruble banknotes, which were modeled on the 1997 banknote. Among the main differences, it is worth highlighting 4 protective fibers. In addition to red, green and two-color stripes, there are also gray ones. The security thread is now stitched into the bill. The denomination is presented in perforated form. Microperforation is smooth on both sides and is imperceptible to the touch. Moiré stripes appear in a special field when copying. Gray was chosen for the denomination printout. A significant difference between the 1997 and 2004 banknotes is noticeable when examined under ultraviolet light. On the front side you can find the inscription "modification of 2004". It can be felt with your fingers. The size of a 500-ruble note in 2004, like other years of issue, is equal to 150 millimeters by 65 millimeters.

2010 modification

The last denomination of 500 rubles was issued in 2010. The banknote is characterized by the decoration and format that were used in 1997, 2001 and 2004. Artistic content and plot have been changed. The reverse side of the banknote is decorated with a view of the Solovetsky Monastery, but from a completely unconventional perspective. The front side of the banknote is decorated with the structure of the river station, which is significantly shaded. The first shot went to the image of a sailing ship. The right coupon field is decorated with a combined watermark. now spelled out from numbers that imperceptibly increase from left to right. The presence of magnetic properties is inherent in individual details of the image. When checking a banknote in ultraviolet radiation, it will radically differ from the design that had a banknote of 500 rubles in 1997, and all banknotes of other issues.

If a fake falls into the hands

If a counterfeit bill fell into your hands, you should not try to sell it. The most correct solution is to rip up and destroy the counterfeit. If you have any doubts about the authenticity of the money, you need to contact the bank. However, in this situation, it is worth considering that when fixing the fact of a fake, employees of a financial institution will call law enforcement officials for further investigation. If you plan to borrow or lend a large enough amount of money for temporary use, you need to protect yourself by rewriting all serial numbers of banknotes. This will allow you to prove both their authenticity and fake in certain circumstances.

Be carefull

A genuine sample of a 500-ruble note must be carefully studied in order to protect oneself from unpleasant situations. Despite the efforts of the Russian government to protect the national currency, the number of counterfeits is increasing. The number of counterfeits in the first quarter of 2015 alone increased by more than 13.3%. Since the beginning of the year, law enforcement agencies have managed to identify 16 thousand counterfeit banknotes. The first place for counterfeiting went to 5000 banknotes. In just 4 months, 3,300 banknotes with a face value of 5,000 thousand and 435 banknotes with a face value of 500 rubles were withdrawn from circulation. The main number of frauds was recorded on the territory of the Central Federal District (12 thousand counterfeit banknotes). There are practically no fakes in Sevastopol (14 pieces). Last year ended with the seizure of about 80 thousand counterfeit banknotes in different parts of the country. Counterfeiting of foreign currencies, in particular dollars and euros, is not so widespread in the country.

The 500 ruble note is a very popular banknote used in cash payments. In order to minimize counterfeit banknotes among 500 ruble banknotes, the Bank of Russia is constantly increasing the level of money protection and periodically introduces more and more modified banknotes, with strengthening of protective functions, withdrawing from circulation in a natural way (like decrepit) banknotes of old designs. That is why, today there are already four types of Bank of Russia banknotes with a denomination of 500 rubles in circulation:

How can you distinguish by eye the modifications of the 500 ruble notes of the 1997 sample? On the front side of the modified banknote, to the right of the relief signs for people with impaired vision, there is the text "MODIFICATION 20__", which is located vertically.

All four types of 500 ruble bills (old and new) are required to be accepted in payments at face value throughout the Russian Federation. The new 500 ruble note of the 2010 modification is considered one of the most secure against counterfeiting.

General description of the banknote: size of 500 rubles, sample 1997 - 150 x 65 mm. The banknote is made on high quality light purple cotton paper. The predominant color is violet-blue. Fibers of light green, red and violet colors are embedded in the paper, as well as a vertically located security thread with repeating text, visible through the transmission. The paper has local watermarks on the left and right of the coupon fields. The emblem of the Bank of Russia is made with optically variable paint (OVI). The banknote has several machine-readable security features.

The main image of the obverse is a monument to Peter I against the background of a sailing ship in the port of Arkhangelsk. The main image of the reverse side is a panorama of the Solovetsky Monastery, a complex on the Solovetsky Islands in the White Sea, the main historical and architectural landmark of the Arkhangelsk Region. Since the XV century. there existed a famous monastery - a stronghold of monastic sanctity, a center of church literacy.

500 rubles of the 1997 sample is not the first banknote with a similar design, earlier the Bank of Russia issued a banknote of non-denominated 500,000 rubles in 1995. The subject of the banknote is engravings with views of Arkhangelsk. On the front side there is a monument to Peter I, a sailing ship and the building of the Sea-river station in Arkhangelsk. The back side shows the Solovetsky Monastery. The 500,000 and the portrait of Peter I are used as watermarks.

Today this banknote is the most expensive during this period, and its price varies from 5,000 to 75,000 rubles, depending on the condition.

The modified banknote of the Bank of Russia of the 1997 model with a denomination of 500 rubles in 2010 has a format and plot design similar to the banknote of the Bank of Russia of the corresponding denomination of the 2004 modification. rubles of the sample of 1997 (modification of 2010) was partially changed, which is noticeable when comparing. What is the reason for this?

On the bill of modification until 2010, the churches of the Solovetsky Monastery depicted on the bill are crowned not with domed structures with crosses, but with hipped roofs. The monastery ensemble acquired such a sad appearance as a result of the fires of 1923 and 1932. blazing when the archipelago was under the jurisdiction of the Solovetsky camp for special purposes ("SLON", "Solovki"). Thus, the bill depicts not a monastery, but the largest special-purpose forced labor camp located on its territory, one of the GULAG divisions. Later, in the early 60s, restoration work was carried out to restore the original appearance of the Solovetsky Monastery and to create the Solovetsky Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve. And in 1988 the monastery was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church.

In addition, a two-masted ship heading to the monastery-camp also cannot be located where it is depicted, since in fact the banknote shows a view not from the sea, but from the opposite side - the cramped Holy Lake, navigation along which is impossible. In 2011, the Bank of Russia issued a new modification of the 500 ruble banknote, where the image of the Solovetsky Monastery is completely different, from a different angle, with domes and without a vessel.

There is another curiosity associated with this banknote. The obverse of the banknote depicts a monument to Peter the Great, the Sea-River Station in Arkhangelsk and a three-masted sailing ship. There are incorrect opinions that the depicted three-masted sailing ship is the Sedov bark, which came to Arkhangelsk in 1984 on the 400th anniversary of the city. However, the former chief artist of Goznak, Igor Krylkov, admitted that at the last moment (before the approval of the design of the 500,000 banknote in 1995), replacing a modern river vessel that did not satisfy the Central Bank, he redrew from a photograph of the first sailing ship that came across, which later turned out to be a ship Argentine naval forces "Libertad", which never entered Russian waters. In the 2010 modification, the image of the sailboat was also changed.

New bills of 500 and 5000 rubles (edition of 2011)

On September 6, 2011, the Bank of Russia put into circulation modified banknotes with denominations of 500 and 5000 rubles. They will be in circulation together with the 1997 banknotes of all previous modifications. The banknotes were developed in 2010, so they belong to the same modification as the 1000-ruble note of the new design.

The issue of new banknotes is an attempt to reduce the number of counterfeits, which are getting better every year. After the introduction of a new 1,000-ruble banknote into circulation, the number of detected counterfeits decreased by almost 3 times (from 122,495 pieces in 2010 to 48,093 pieces in 2011). In 2011, 5 thousand counterfeits of five thousandth notes and about one thousand five hundred were revealed. The cost of the new five-thousandth notes is 24% higher than the old ones, and the cost of five hundred is 15% higher.

5000 rubles

Outwardly, the new banknotes do not differ much from the old ones, they have a sample year "1997". The most noticeable difference is the vertical text in small letters "MODIFICATION 2010" on the obverse at the bottom of the left margin.

The modified banknote has a format and theme design similar to the 1997 Bank of Russia banknote. The color and decoration of the front and back sides have been partially changed. On the front side of the modified banknote, in the lower part of the left coupon field to the left of the main image, there is the text "MODIFICATION 2010".

The coat of arms of the city of Khabarovsk in green is made with optically variable magnetic paint (OVMI) with the effect of moving a bright shiny stripe;
At the bottom of the Moire Concealed (MVC +) box, there is an element with visible color stripes;
On the reverse side, the multi-colored ornamental stripe has undergone a change;
The images of the banknote in ultraviolet and infrared light differ from the banknote of the previous issue.

In total, the new five thousandth bill has 18 security features and is one of the most secure in the world.

500 rubles

The modified banknote has a format and theme design similar to the banknote of the Bank of Russia of the corresponding denomination of the 2004 modification. The color and decoration of the front and back sides have been partially changed. On the front side of the modified banknote, in the lower part of the left coupon field to the left of the main image, there is the text "MODIFICATION 2010".

The 2010 modification banknote has the following main differences:

The paper contains two types of security fibers - two-color and gray;
A wide security thread is embedded in the paper, which has an exit on the face of the banknote to the surface in a curly-shaped window ("stained-glass window");
The combined watermark is located on the right coupon field;
On the front side of the banknote, there are thin embossed strokes at the edges of the coupon fields;
Modified the color-changing effect on the solid-color field to the left of the main image on the front side;
The height of the digits of the left serial number gradually increases from left to right;
The reverse side has undergone changes: the main image and a multicolored ornamental stripe;
Some of the image elements are magnetic;
Images of banknotes in ultraviolet and infrared light differ from banknotes of previous issues.

In addition, the color of the banknote and the decoration of both sides have changed. The image of the Solovetsky Monastery on the reverse side has become more modern.

The 500 ruble note is a very popular banknote used in cash transactions. In order to minimize counterfeit banknotes among 500 ruble banknotes, the Bank of Russia is constantly improving the level of money protection. The effectiveness of this work can be concluded by analyzing the dynamics of detecting counterfeit banknotes in the Russian banking system. The statistics on counterfeit banknotes in Russia over the past nine years looks like this:

Years	Total counterfeit banknotes detected (number of pieces)	Incl. counterfeit banknotes of 500 rubles were detected (number of pieces)	Percentage of total detection
2008	132941	3273	2,46
2009	155222	1906	1,23
2010	128700	1093	0,85
2011	94567	2574	2,72
2012	88029	1417	1,61
2013	71433	7494	10,49
2014	80243	2100	1,95
2015	71949	2159	3,00
2016	61046	2015	3,3
2017 (1-3 qt.)	35393	565	1,6

In order to reduce the possibility of counterfeiting banknotes, the Bank of Russia periodically introduces more and more modified banknotes into circulation, with strengthening of protective functions, withdrawing from circulation in a natural way (like decrepit) banknotes of old designs. That is why today there are already four types of Bank of Russia banknotes with a denomination of 500 rubles in circulation:

sample 1997 - put into circulation on January 1, 1998

sample of 1997, modification of 2001 - put into circulation on January 1, 2001

sample of 1997, modification of 2004 - put into circulation on August 16, 2004

sample of 1997, modification of 2010 - put into circulation on September 6, 2011

The size of the 500 ruble note is 150 x 65 mm. The predominant color is violet-blue. The main image of the obverse is a monument to Peter I against the background of a sailing ship in the port of Arkhangelsk. The main image of the reverse side is the Solovetsky Monastery.

But the color and decoration of the front and back sides of the new (fourth) banknote of the Bank of Russia with a denomination of 500 rubles of the sample of 1997 (modification of 2010) has been partially changed, which is noticeable when comparing. So, for example, the Solovetsky Monastery is depicted from a different perspective, and the general color background has slightly changed.

This material lists only security features that can be checked with the naked eye, and machine-readable security features can be found on the Bank of Russia website.

the reverse side of a banknote of 500 rubles in 1997

There are 10 signs of authenticity of a 500 ruble banknote of the 1997 sample, of which 2 (3 and 6) are machine-readable. Here are the signs available for simple verification, which are divided by the Bank of Russia into four types and are described as follows:

1 - Multi-tone watermarks (2 pcs.) - located on the coupon fields of banknotes: on the narrow one - the digital designation of the denomination of 500, on the wide one - the image of Peter I. with a general background of paper. On the watermark located on a wide coupon field, smooth transitions of tones are clearly visible - from dark to light.

2 - Security thread - a transparent security thread 1mm wide is embedded in the paper. In transmitted light (in the light) on the security thread, repeating combinations of letters and numbers “CBR 500” are visible, which have an oblique outline, vertical displacement and execution in a straight and inverted image.

3.1 - 3.3 - Alignment of fragments of the front and back sides - when examining the banknote in the light, the fragments of the front and back sides are exactly combined, forming a single pattern, the uncolored elements are filled with the color of the fragments of the opposite side.

4.1 - Micro-pattern, these are drawings of thin lines located on the coupon fields of the reverse side of the banknote, are perceived to the naked eye as an even field. When photocopying, images may be distorted or light or dark designs that do not exist on the original (moire) may be detected.

New signs of authenticity have also been introduced:

2 - A metallized diving security thread is embedded in the paper, five sections of which come out to the surface of the banknote from the reverse side. In transmitted light (in transmission), the security thread looks like a solid dark stripe;

6 - There are four types of security fibers randomly located in the paper: red, light green, two-color and gray. Bicolor protective fibers are perceived as violet to the naked eye. Red and light greens have a red and yellow-green glow in UV rays, respectively. On bicolor fibers, red areas have red areas.

12 - Microperforation - when viewing a banknote against a light source, an image of the number 500 is observed, formed by absolutely even parallel rows of micro-holes. The paper at the location of the micro-holes should not be perceived as rough.

11 - Moire Concealed Stripes (MVC) - Four types of security fibers are randomly located in the paper: red, light green, two-color and gray. Bicolor protective fibers are perceived as violet to the naked eye. Red and light green have a red and yellow-green glow in UV rays, respectively. On bicolor fibers, red areas have red areas.

Transmission Controlled Authenticity

1 - Combined watermark. It is located on the right coupon field and includes a half-tone watermark (portrait of Peter I) and an adjacent filigree watermark - a digital designation of the denomination (number 500). A filigree watermark has areas that are lighter than paper and has a halftone watermark. It is distinguished by the presence of dark strokes, shading the numbers and creating the effect of their volume.

2 - Security thread. A metallized security thread 5 mm wide is embedded in the paper with a periodically repeating image (number "500" in upright and inverted tracing and a rhombus), made by demetallization. On the reverse side of the banknote, the security thread looks like a gray stripe with dark repeating numbers "500" separated by rhombuses. Numbers and rhombuses appear light when viewed through a dark field.

12 - Microperforation. When looking at the banknote against the light source to the right of the image of the sailboat, the number "500" is observed, made in absolutely even parallel rows of micro-holes, which are not tangible to the touch.

Signs of authenticity controlled using x8-x10 magnifiers

4.1 - Micro-pattern. These are drawings of thin lines located in the center of the front side of the banknote, as well as on the reverse side of the banknote in the upper and lower parts of the coupon fields. To the naked eye, they are perceived as an even field.

4.2 - An image formed by small graphic elements. The image of the building of the sea terminal in Arkhangelsk consists of separate small graphic elements.

5.1 - Microtext positive (repeating number 500). In the upper part of the banknote there is a positive microtext in the form of fourteen lines of the repeating number "500".

5.2 - Microtext - the transition from negative to positive (repeating text "CBRF500"). At the bottom of the banknote there is a microtext in the form of six stripes with the repeating text "CBRF500", which is executed - with a transition from negative to positive, and from left to right.

5.3 - Microtext on the border of the decorative tape (repeating number 500, separated by a dot). On the upper and lower borders of the decorative tape image there is microtext in the form of repeating numbers "500" separated by dots.

6 - Security fibers embedded in the paper. Security fibers of two types are randomly located in the paper: two-color fibers of variable cross-section with alternating areas of red and blue and gray fibers. Under the influence of UV light, the red glow has red areas. Areas of blue and gray fibers do not glow when exposed to UV light.

8 - Colorless embossing. Thin colorful strokes located on the left edge of the front side of the banknote, as well as strokes at the end of the text "Ticket of the Bank of Russia" turn into colorless embossing.

Signs of authenticity controlled by changing the angle of view

2.1 - The effect of changing the image on the security thread. On a fragment of a security thread that emerges on the surface of the paper - on the front side of the banknote in a curly-shaped window ("stained-glass window"), when the banknote is tilted, either repeating images of the numbers "500" separated by rhombuses, or an iridescent shine without an image are visible when the banknote is tilted.

7 - Latent image of the letters "PP" (Kipp - effect). When the banknote is viewed at an acute angle to the surface, against the light source, the letters "PP" become visible on the decorative tape. Depending on the location of the banknote, the letters will appear light on a dark background or dark on a light background.

11 - Hidden multi-color image (number "500"). When the banknote is tilted, the number "500" appears on a one-color field, each digit of which has its own color. When the banknote is rotated (without changing the angle of view), the color of each digit changes.

11.1 - Latent multicolor image when exposed to UV light. Under the influence of UV light, the number "500" appears on a monochromatic field when the banknote is tilted, each digit of which has its own color. When the banknote is rotated (without changing the angle of view), the color of each digit changes.

Touch Controlled Authenticity (Raised Relief)
