Coins modern Russia From base metals, collectors usually divide them into the period 1992-1996 and the period from 1999 to the present.

However, the real heyday of the minting of commemorative coins came precisely at the beginning of the new century, reviving mass collecting, since material from albums could be collected directly from circulation.

The result was the almost complete disappearance of the anniversary from circulation. Therefore, prices already reach several hundred.

Bimetallic coins are mostly included in the and series. Here there is scope for different varieties. An example is , which came out with an erroneous edge, in a magnetic design and with an interesting defect reminiscent of an avalanche.

Since 2010, the annual steel tens have been accompanied by commemorative coins dedicated to various events. Most of them form a series, which is why coins of this type are called “GVS” among numismatists. There's also a lot to discuss here for species lovers. This is both , and the location of the mint mark on .


The family is growing commemorative coins in denomination 25 rubles. The first of them were dedicated to the Olympics. Next came coins marking the event. In addition to mass issues, small circulation ones are beginning to be minted. An example is .


The five-ruble denomination is also in demand on this path. In addition to the military series (“70 years of the Great Victory”), single coins were issued for the anniversary and .

Like any other product, even specific ones, coins have their own market price. The same coin can be purchased in a store, at an auction or on a market and coin prices will vary.

Prices for coins from the flea market on Taganka

For many, prices from the “flea market” near the famous numismatic store “NUMISMAT”, on Taganskaya Square in Moscow, are an indisputable reference point. There you can always buy coins for the specified amounts. But you shouldn’t take them as a 100% basis. Prices for all coins are most often inflated; you can always find a more profitable option at auctions. There are more and more coins, now prices are presented on 2 sheets.

Attention, Relevance - June - July - August 2016.

What determines the value of coins?

Undoubtedly, Many factors influence the value of coins, such as: mint, year of issue, denomination, alloy, edge, circulation, condition and others. However, the main criterion for value is the rarity of a particular coin. Rarity depends on the mintage of a particular coin.

Sometimes novice numismatists ask why cost of USSR coins much smaller than some Russian coins? The answer is simple, many coins were issued in circulations of tens of millions of pieces. And although they are old and in excellent condition, their price is often low.

For cost modern coins Russia is strongly influenced by demand. They are especially popular commemorative coins, often they don’t even reach turnover.

It is worth paying attention that market prices may differ from prices for the same coin in different cities of Russia. For example, if you live in Moscow, then you can easily get coins from the Moscow Mint at face value in your wallets. But it will be a great success to receive a coin from the St. Petersburg court as change. And most likely you will have to exchange it or buy it.

Market price of a specific coin

Neither in the specified tables, nor in any others you will receive up-to-date market price for the highest coin in your city. As I wrote above, the price will depend on many factors. The spread of plus and minus can be more than 100%.

You can find out the current value of an individual coin at various online auctions. Enter the denomination and year of manufacture, find options in your city, compare quality. This will be your price. This is what I do before making an exchange or purchase.


If you find any price lists, send them, I will share them on the pages of the site.

In the first years, the production of 25-ruble anniversary banknotes was tied to the main sports competitions. These are the 2014 Winter Olympics, held in Sochi, and the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

These banknotes are different from other anniversaries interesting feature. A small number of copies of each issue are in color. The table shows that coins with a color image on the reverse are much more expensive.

In 2017, sports issues were diluted with other topics. This is a long-term series with the heroes of Russian and Soviet cartoons beloved by all children, and a non-serial release “Give Kindness to Children”, the proceeds from the sale of which are sent to a charitable foundation.

In 2019-2020, a volumetric series with images of weapon designers is planned to be released.

10 rubles

10-ruble banknotes form the bulk of Russian commemorative coins. To date, the collections of numismatists have been replenished with more than a hundred issues dedicated to ancient cities, cities of military glory, regions and ministries. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation is not going to stop issuing chervonets, having planned further additions to the commemorative series in the coming years.

The demand for coins of this denomination is so enormous that the cost of the most valuable copies exceeded 10 thousand rubles.

The first was a series from 2012, glorifying the most important battles of the Russian army during Patriotic War 1812. A year later, a series was published in memory of the battles of Soviet troops during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. In 2015, a series of 5 issues reminded us of the heroic feat of the soldiers who fought on the Crimean Peninsula against Nazi Germany. And continued in 2016 military theme a group of fives dedicated to the capitals of states that were liberated by USSR soldiers from the Nazi invaders.

Two non-serial issues were minted to commemorate anniversaries since the creation of the Russian Historical Society and the Russian Geographical Society.
