Russia 25 roubles 2011 - Sochi 2014 Winter Games
New circulating commemorative:
"XXII Olympic and XI Paralympic Winter Games in 2014 in Sochi"
This is the first coin in new Russia (since 1992) that has normal state Coat of Arms - all previous coins had the emblem of Russian Central Bank on obverse, and this one has the complete Coat of Arms of Russian Federation
Looks like they're using the full tsarist heraldry again.
ReplyDeleteThis coat of arms has adopted in 1993
