Russia is valuable. The most expensive coins of modern Russia (prices, photos). rubles Chechen Republic
Not only commemorative, anniversary or ancient coins, but also coins from the last 10-15 years can become valuable coins. A small circulation, differences in the stamp that are almost invisible to the untrained eye - all this can add value to the coin on the collector’s market. After reading this rating, it’s worth checking the change in your wallet - perhaps you have one of the most expensive ones lying around Russian coins.
Collectible coin of Sochi 25 rubles, 2011/2012 issue.
Can be purchased for: 30,000 rubles.
Opens a list of the most expensive coins modern Russia a well-known and beloved coin by numismatists from the series issued for the Olympic Games. The aesthetic and memorable value of these coins is quite high - even novice collectors strive to collect all eleven coins (differing in year of issue, image color, etc.). But one series of these commemorative coins is more valuable than others - the so-called. presentation, which was distributed to guests in the spring of 2011.
It differs from the regular version primarily in the large (compared to later) monogram of the St. Petersburg Mint. In addition, differences can be found in small details in the image of the Russian coat of arms.
In 2012, a small number of “Olympiad Mascots” appeared with a large SPMD monogram; this distinguished the coins from the rest of the circulation. You can currently purchase such “Talismans” for 1000 rubles.
There are even more rare option, the “trick” of which is the higher location of the emblem of the St. Petersburg Mint.
Cost: 30,000 rubles.
Every year in the Russian Federation, the Moscow Mint issues new ten-ruble coins into circulation. But even among ordinary, ordinary coins, rarities can be found. Just in 2012 - 2013, one of the old stamps used to print ten-ruble notes went out of use, so coins printed using it are very rare.
They can be distinguished primarily by the type of shading that fills the number zero on the reverse. U regular coins the first and last strokes are almost imperceptible, but on the old stamp ones they are wide and thick.
It is unknown how many similar copies were minted, and it is quite possible that a similar ten-ruble note is now in someone’s wallet.
1 ruble, 2 rubles and 5 rubles 2003
Collectors buy for: 30,000 rubles.
It was considered a fact that in 2003 the Moscow Mint issued exclusively banknotes in denominations of 10 and 50 kopecks. And then in 2006, ruble coins suddenly appeared in circulation, immediately becoming a numismatic rarity.
Once they were intended as a gift to delegations who came to the celebrations on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the “Northern Capital”. But this idea had to be abandoned, since for some reason the souvenir sets were not prepared on time. And for about three years the coins lay in the basements of the MMD, until it was decided to put them into circulation.
A small circulation (no more than 15,000 pieces) guarantees that they will only increase in price.
50 kopecks, 1 ruble and 5 rubles issued in 2001.
Cost: 100,000 rubles.
According to official information, all of these coins were never released into circulation. Nevertheless, some Russian numismatists are proud of their presence in their collections. These coins are unique and extremely rare, so their price can be significantly higher than the stated 100,000 rubles. Their uniqueness has provoked the emergence of a large number of fakes - however, they are unlikely to be found in the coin compartment of the average person.
A person who is far from numismatics can easily confuse a very expensive 1-ruble coin from 2001 of regular mintage due to its rarity with a commemorative ruble issued in 2001 in honor of the 10th anniversary of the CIS. Its price is about two hundred rubles.
Coins issued by the St. Petersburg Mint 2016
They are ready to buy for: 300,000 rubles.
Why are they so valuable? IN last years“ordinary” metal banknotes began to be issued by the Moscow Mint, but commemorative coins were farmed out to the “Northern Capital”. That is why “simple” SPMD coins are so highly valued. For example, a set of coins from one to ten rubles, made in 2016.
In Russia, only one such set was found, and that was thanks to the Wolmar online auction. On it, collectors saw for the first time a lot consisting of 1-, 2-, 5- and 10-ruble coins with the SPMD monogram. As a result, the lot was sold for an impressive amount of 1,277,563 rubles.
Cost: 300,000 rubles.
A coin’s rarity and value can be enhanced by a feature that is almost invisible to the average user. When paying with a ten-ruble coin for some small change, hardly anyone paid attention to the inscription of the date numbers on the coin. But this can play a huge role in determining the rarity of a coin.
In 2013, two versions of the ten-ruble note were issued - one with the usual type of numbers, and the second with a font reminiscent of the pre-revolutionary one. If the price of the former coincides with the one indicated, then the price of the latter is many times higher. You can detect the difference with ordinary 10-ruble notes if you look closely at the number 3 in the date “2013”. Her lower part of the ponytail is straight, whereas in the standard version the number ends with a bold dot at the bottom.
Cost: 300,000 rubles.
Another rarity produced by SPMD. It is interesting that in addition to ordinary coins, those that by this time had ceased to be issued by MMD were also printed, namely 1 kopeck and 5 kopecks. Very few coins were found.
According to numismatist experts, SPMD minted only 5-6 sets of such banknotes in 2011. Perhaps the mint decided to try out a new stamp and printed at most a few sets, and then - no good wasted - put them into circulation.
And in 2012, the story with the trial issue repeated itself, but this time there were not 1 or 5 kopecks in free circulation. Perhaps they ended up in someone's private collection.
Cost: 300,000 rubles.
One of the most expensive coins in Russia is a myth coin that many have heard about, but no one has been able to hold in their hands. So far, numismatists have had the opportunity to admire her photograph (though large in size and of good quality), posted on the website of one of the auctions.
It is still unknown whether the coin is fake or real. Also, no one knows who owns it now.
Cost: 300,000 rubles.
This coin was luckier - no one doubts its authenticity. Its story began with the moment of a lucky discovery by a Kemerovo numismatist in a bag of change. For his attentiveness, he was adequately rewarded by selling the find at auction and receiving 300 thousand rubles for it.
Perhaps the coin was part of a test batch issued by SPMD to test new stamps. As a result, it could be sent into use along with the mass circulation of 5 kopecks issued in 1998. However, in 1999, the Central Bank decided to abandon the mass issue of all denominations, and the 5-kopeck banknote became “immediately purchased for collection.”
Since then, no more than five copies have been recorded.
Estimated at: 300,000 rubles.
Why have 5 ruble coins issued in 1999 become so rare? The fact is that in the previous two years so many of them were made that new ones were not needed for about another ten years. So all coins produced between 1998 and 2008 are either proof pieces for testing dies, or souvenir sets with a small mintage.
Here is one of these exceptions - a five-ruble coin issued in 1999. So far, only four such copies have been found.
The owner, who presented a super-rare coin at a numismatic auction, said that he received it as change during a trip in a minibus. At first, his words were received with skepticism, but then experts verified the authenticity of the coin, printed by the St. Petersburg Mint.
It turns out that you can get rich completely by accident. So don’t be lazy to examine the contents of your purse or piggy bank, in case there is a coin there that can be classified as rare.
As you know, rare coins are highly valued by collectors and are expensive, while people who are far from professional collecting believe that only ancient specimens, hundreds of years old, can be rare and expensive on this list. In fact, this is not so - modern Russian coins can be rare and valuable even if they practically do not differ from those in circulation.
In order to talk in detail about coin rarities, we will divide them into four categories, each of which is devoted to a separate article:
One of the most rare in the list of coins of modern Russia are those intended for regular monetary circulation, but for some reason not minted in mass circulation. The reasons for each individual case are different and it is not possible to determine them unambiguously, since this is information for internal use and neither the mints nor the Central Bank provide official comments.
1. Rare coins of modern Russia, a list of trial options.
Chronologically, the first in the list in terms of rarity, among ordinary Russian coins issued for monetary circulation, are 20 rubles 1993 Leningrad Mint (LMD). 20 ruble coins were mass produced by LMD in 1992, but in 1993 LMD no longer minted such denominations; they continued to be made only at the Moscow Mint (MMD). This coin is identical in everything except the date stamped to those issued in 1992 (nickel silver blank, ribbed edge). Most likely, this is a trial version made at the end of 1992, to “test” the stamps prepared for the next year. But the hyperinflation of the early 90s made its own adjustments and the minting of 20 ruble coins in 1993 at LMD was no longer carried out. Very few of them reached collectors and the price was set at around 100,000 rubles.
The rise in inflation, characteristic of the first years of modern Russia, also “cancelled” the massive release of coins with the denomination 100, 500 and 1000 rubles, 1995 model. They remained on the list of trial, unapproved copies. Somehow, having left the walls of the MD archive (or the Central Bank), a very rare set of these coins was sold at auction in 2014 for 810,000 rubles.
2. Rare coins of modern Russia. Regular mintage.
After the production of 5 ruble coins in multi-million circulations in 1997-1998, their mass minting was stopped for almost 10 years. The reason for this was, most likely, purely economic: it was more profitable to issue inexpensive steel one- and two-ruble coins, rather than the more expensive copper 5-ruble coins. As a result, when the numismatic market appeared 5 rubles 1999 St. Petersburg Mint (SPMD), they created a real sensation among collectors. Almost simultaneously, two such coins appeared. One of them was put up for auction at Volmar in June 2009 with a starting price of 210,000 rubles. However, it was not possible to sell it at that price - obviously, collectors were afraid that after this pair a dozen or two more such coins would appear and the price would drop sharply. There have been similar cases in numismatics: coins appeared in circulation several years after minting, and before that time they were either completely unknown or known in single copies. But to date, there has been no mass “stuffing” of 5 rubles from 1999 and it has the status of unique and valuable.
For almost 15 years nothing was known about the existence of another coin of the same year - 5 kopecks 1999 SPMD, of which only a single copy is known so far. Quite good images posted in popular online catalogs of modern Russian coins suggest that it is, after all, genuine. Thus, there are fewer empty cells in the list of Russian coins, but the list rare coins modern Russia, on the contrary, has replenished.
50 kopecks, 1 and 2 rubles 2001 This trinity is shrouded in complete secrets. Everyone has heard about them, in most catalogs they are presented and even prices are indicated from 50 to 100 thousand rubles. But few people have seen them in reality; there are not even scans or good photographs of these coins. Those dim images that circulate on the Internet may well be the result of working with Photoshop and certainly do not allow us to judge their authenticity. The information that they were “discovered” in the annual souvenir sets of the Central Bank of 2002 is also of doubtful reliability. Perhaps over time the situation will become clearer and comprehensive information will appear, but for now even the very fact of their existence is unconfirmed.
For a number of years, mints produced souvenir bank sets specifically for collectors, but in 2003, for an unknown reason, the release of the next set was canceled. This added to the list of rare coins of modern Russia: 1, 2, 5 rubles 2003 produced by SPMD. In 2002, 15 thousand of these coins were issued. of each denomination and were distributed among collectors in the form of bank sets. The 2002 set costs about 12 thousand and there is no particular problem in buying it. It was planned to release such a set in 2003, the 15 thousand coins themselves and souvenir packaging were minted, but... something disrupted the plans and after lying for a couple of years in some of the storage facilities, they were released into regular monetary circulation. Naturally, they suffered the fate of “ordinary” issues: something was irretrievably worn out or lost, something else “walks” through wallets. As a result, it has become very difficult to find them in exceptional preservation, so valued by numismatists. The cost of coins in excellent condition reaches 20,000 rubles. and is growing from year to year, since the chances of “catching” them in circulation are becoming less and less. Approximately 10 years after issue, it became known about the existence of very rare, single copies of 1, 2 and 5 rubles of 2003 produced by MMD. It is unclear for what reason these coins were made, but it is obvious that these are unique specimens, the adequate price of which has yet to be determined by the market.
3. List of rare commemorative coins of modern Russia.
Another secret of the Central Bank is the unreasonably low circulation of the very popular and sought-after 10-ruble bimetallic coins of 2010 from the “Regions of the Russian Federation” series. Thus, “Perm Region”, which began to be minted in mid-2010, ended up with only 200 thousand pieces instead of the originally announced 10 million circulation. And the coins dedicated to the Chechen Republic and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the issue of which was supposed to begin in October, but actually started at the end of November, came out in circulations of only 100 thousand (the originally planned circulations were also 10 million each). As a result "Perm region" Now you can only buy for 3000 rubles, a coin "Chechen Republic" already for 6,000 rubles, and for a dedicated Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug you need to pay at least 12,000 rubles. " Gossips“they claim that this could not have happened without a massive purchase of the circulation by unscrupulous dealers close to the Central Bank, but the fact remains: the prices for this trinity (in the jargon of numismatists, it received the name - CHYAP) have been holding for several years and are not going to fall.
4. Regularly minted coins, SPMD issue 2011 and 2012.
It is known that there is a “full line” of denominations, from 1 kopeck to 10 rubles SPMD in 2011 years that were not released for circulation. Some catalogs state their price is around 150 thousand for each coin, a total of a little more than a million for the entire series. The website of the famous collector-researcher J. Kulvelis provides information about 1 ruble coins from this collection. It is reported that they were made not using ordinary coin circles (nickel-plated steel), but from steel with plating (applying a thin layer of another metal to the surface of the base). This is probably minted on experimental blanks.
How such rare specimens end up in the hands of collectors is a matter of concern to the SPMD security service, but in the meantime information has appeared that numismatists have a line of the same coins from 2012, St. Petersburg mintage, but this time with the exception of denominations of 1 and 5 kopecks, so buy them It will already be possible for less than 1,000,000 rubles.

Literate people believe that the most expensive coins of modern Russia are presented as exhibits in some museum. Others believe that these coins are a rarity that is not found in an ordinary wallet. And that, probably, their obverse is nothing more than a page of history, minted from precious metal. Only a true connoisseur will take a closer look at every coin that ends up in the palm of his hand. An expensive copy can be found among ordinary nickels of the 2000s, the main thing is perseverance and attention.
Some of the most valuable coins
Since money itself is a value and plays a key role in the development of a country, people have always depicted the most important events with general cultural and historical value on them. These could be natural monuments, political or cultural figures, folk symbols, state attributes, etc. But the list of expensive modern coins Russia demonstrates that these qualities are not always important.
One tiny nuance, invisible to the eye, one small and random deviation from the standard - and in front of you is a rare specimen, worthy not only of attention, but also of a substantial monetary reward from a passionate collector. In tens of years, these coins will acquire historical value, but for now it lies in their dissimilarity with other coins.
Finding a unique and different person is easier than ever. Everyone has a mole, a special shape of eyebrows, etc. If coins are put into circulation in circulation of many hundreds of thousands, then even a slight difference indicates its rarity, despite the fact that this is a common manufacturing defect.
10 most expensive coins in Russia
These coins have been in circulation since the late 90s, and look quite familiar. There are many types of expensive coins, but we will look at the most famous “ten”. The top 10 is systematized not on a historical basis, but in descending order of prices - starting with the most expensive, ending with a coin worth several hundred rubles.
The sudden appearance of a single copy of the coin is shrouded in mysticism. The coin was discovered in 2009. The copy was recognized by experts as genuine. But why is there only one? Coins are issued in stacks; a single copy can only be a “proof” of a special minting method. These 5 rubles were minted in the usual way, there are no special marks.
The coin has become something like the “Flying Dutchman” in Russian numismatics: everyone knows, but no one has seen. If someone discovers the mystical five, they will receive at least 250,000 rubles. This is the cost of the most expensive coin in modern Russia.
Characteristic
Copper disc coated with cupronickel, not attracted by a magnet. The reverse shows the denomination of the coin and the branches of a stylized plant. One of the branches barely touches the edge. The letters in the word “rubles” below are pointed. This can be seen with the naked eye. On the obverse there is a relief image of a double-headed eagle, under the paw of which there is a mint mark. The year of minting is indicated at the bottom - 1999. Otherwise, the coin would not be so expensive.
If the coin was not even put into circulation, where do collectors find it? They also cannot find it, as evidenced by the lack of sales of the coin. But numerous cases of fakes indicate that it makes sense to purchase a copy for a collection. If you have some skills in handling tools, you can turn the usual “4” or “7” into the number “1” in the release date. A fake costs about 4,500 rubles. The original is tentatively priced at 120,000 rubles.
Characteristic
The coin is made of brass alloy, color – golden. The obverse depicts St. George the Victorious on horseback, piercing the head of a serpent with a spear. The edge includes 105 corrugations. You can find out other characteristics of the coin if you look at the catalog of modern Russian coins.

1 ruble and 2 rubles 2001. Another mystery of 2001 and the Moscow Mint. The coins have not been in circulation and are UNC (“uncirculated”) quality. This means that the cost exceeds the face value hundreds of thousands of times. In the catalog both coins are designated as rarities. Copies of 2002 can be obtained at least as a set, and the cost will not exceed 3,000 rubles.
Some people mistakenly mistake the anniversary versions of 1 and 2 rubles for rare, expensive items. They need to be distinguished. The anniversary 1-ruble coin was released on November 27 in honor of the 10th anniversary of the CIS in a large copy. The “Red Book” series of coins, with the same denomination, will acquire special significance in numismatics a couple of decades later.
A coin with a face value of 2 rubles with Gagarin costs a little more, but is not considered rare or valuable (however, if there is no mint mark, the cost of the copy increases to 2,500 rubles). Collectors are looking for the most common 1 and 2 rubles from 2001, which for some reason did not go into circulation, but somehow found their way into the hands of ordinary people.
Characteristic
Regular minted coins made of copper-nickel alloy, white. The cost of each coin in 2017 is up to 70,000 rubles.
The coin has not yet been withdrawn from Russian monetary circulation, and serves as legal tender. Therefore, the condition can vary from “very good” to “satisfactory”. Despite the fact that several dozen coins were discovered, they were produced in small quantities. Minted by the St. Petersburg Mint in the period from 2002 to 2003 and from 2005 to 2009.
There are no special distinctive marks on the obverse or reverse, as shown in the video. The demand for the coin is more due to its small circulation than its significance in the sociocultural context. Numismatists are willing to pay 10,000 rubles for a rare specimen.
Characteristic
The white disc with a diameter of 20.5 mm is made of copper-nickel alloy and has a white color. The obverse features a standard image of a double-headed eagle with a mint mark, and the year of issue is indicated below.
