Comments:

Designer: K. Shmelkov.

On 4 May 1992, the Monetary Reform Commission of the Republic of Latvia passed a resolution "On Introduction of the Latvian rublis". From 7 May 1992, a temporary currency, the Latvian rublis (LVR), was put into circulation as a legal tender parallel to the existing ruble notes. It was declared equal in value to the Russian ruble. The denominations of the Latvian rublis notes (widely known as repšiki, after then-governor of the Central Bank, Einars Repše) were 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 200 and 500 rubļi.
