Etymology

The term 'ruble' comes from the Russian word 'ั€ัƒะฑะปัŒ' (rubl'), which originally referred to a piece or segment of silver. The word is derived from the Old Russian 'ั€ัƒะฑะธั‚ะธ' (rubiti), meaning 'to chop' or 'to cut'. This etymology stems from a time when currency was made from coined silver, often cut into smaller pieces to serve as money. Over the centuries, the ruble has undergone various changes in its form and value, adapting to Russia's economic needs. The first ruble was introduced as a currency in the late 13th century under the reign of Prince Ivan I of Moscow. The modern ruble was established in 1992 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and today it is a key component of the Russian financial system.
