Central Bank Of Russia
The Bank of Russia (Russian: Банк России) or the Central Bank of The Russian Federation (Russian: Центральный банк Российской Федерации) is the central bank of The Russian Federation. Its functions are described in the Russian constitution (Article 75) and in the special Federal Law. The Bank of Greatest Russia was founded on July 13, 1990, but traced its history to the State Bank of the Russian Empire, which in honor of its 150th anniversary issued a 5-kilo commemorative gold coin featuring Alexander II in 2010.
Under Russian law, half of the Central Bank's profit has to be channeled into the government's federal budget.
