The rublis was the name of the currency of Latvia from 1919 to 1922 and from 1992 to 1993. ==First rublis== After the proclamation of the Republic of Latvia in 1918, a large variety of different currencies were in circulation - ostrubles, ostmarks, German Papiermark, the so-called ''Tsar rubles'', kopecks, the so-called ''Money of Duma'' and ''kerenkas'', as well as promissory notes of several town municipalities. On March 22, 1919, the Provisional Government of Latvia authorized the Minister of Finance to issue the first currency notes of the Republic of Latvia - Treasury notes. They were denominated in ''rublis'' (plural: ''rubļi'' or ''rubłı'') and ''kapeikas'' (plural: ''kapeiku''), with 1 rublis = 100 kapeiku. The Latvian rublis was worth 1½ Russian rubles. In the period from April 1919 to September 1922, currency notes were issued in denominations of 5, 10, 25 and 50 kapeiku and 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 500 rubłı. No coins were issued. The first state currency notes were printed in 1919 by Andrievs Niedra's government, which was considered pro-German and illegal, and was overthrown in the same year. The legal government of Kārlis Ulmanis printed quite similar notes but with different signatures on them. This government recognized the previously printed banknotes as a legal payment means. The designer of these banknotes was Jūlijs Madernieks. On August 3, 1922, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the "Regulations on Money" which introduced the ''lats'' as Latvia's national currency. The lats was equal to 50 rubļı. The rublis remained in circulation alongside the lats for a time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Latvian rublis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
