10 Soviet Ruble

Front: Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924), founder of the Soviet state and leader of the Bolshevik Revolution. As the first head of the Soviet government, Lenin established the communist state that would endure until 1991. His portrait appeared on virtually all Soviet banknotes from 1937 onwards, serving as the central ideological symbol of Soviet currency. The front displays the State Bank of the USSR emblem and multilingual denomination text in languages of Soviet republics, reflecting the multinational character of the USSR.

Back: Vladimir Lenin in profile, accompanied by the State Arms of the Soviet Union (hammer and sickle surrounded by wheat sheaves with the red star above). The text reads 'БИЛЕТ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО БАНКА СССР' (State Bank of the USSR Note) and '10 РУБЛЕЙ' (10 Rubles). The security text states that banknotes are backed by gold, precious metals, and other assets of the State Bank. This design, introduced during the 1961 monetary reform, remained in use through the collapse of the USSR.
