* TOY MONEY: russia (ex. the USSR) ★ 500 ROULBES 1993! CRISP! GREY PAPER!

Interesting the only year of the small type in attractive condition. There were two main varieties of the issue, which distinguished by paper: it could be white (at the beginning of the emission) or grey (at the end of emission). This banknote was printed on grey paper. Decay of the USSR brought to huge inflation, as the result this banknote became small in size. It was nicknamed as "toy."
