Russian Ruble
The Russian Ruble (RUB) is the official currency of Russia, one of the oldest currencies in Europe with origins in the 13th century. Managed by the Bank of Russia, the ruble experienced severe volatility following international sanctions imposed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Russia is a major exporter of oil, natural gas, wheat, and metals — making the ruble historically a commodity currency. The ruble symbol (₽) was officially adopted in 2013.
South African Rand
The South African Rand (ZAR) is the official currency of South Africa and is also accepted as legal tender in Lesotho, Eswatini, and Namibia. Introduced in 1961 to replace the pound at decimal independence, the rand takes its name from the Witwatersrand ridge where South Africa's gold deposits were discovered in 1886. The ZAR is a commodity currency heavily correlated with gold, platinum, and mining sector performance. It is the most traded African currency and is sensitive to global risk appetite.
