When can a coin worth one ruble cost like 200 rubles? It is correct when it depicts something other than a double-headed eagle and the number 1. But such coins, as a rule, are not spent on acquisitions (unless by chance), but settle in coin collections. No exception and 1 ruble with Pushkin, the ruble 10 years of the CIS. When did such coins appear, what are their features?

Jubilee rubles in the USSR and the Russian Federation

In general, the tradition of collecting was widespread in the USSR. How many tasks are in the Soviet-era textbooks about Tanya and Seryozha, who collected stamps? At the same time, commemorative rubles appeared. One such coin, 1 ruble, of course, was not the smallest amount, but one could still afford to keep the commemorative coin.

The tradition of minting unusual coins dedicated to certain events has remained in modern Russia. At the same time, collectible coins were not limited to rubles. More often these are ten-ruble coins of two types, coins of denomination 2 and 5rubles and, of course, a coin of 1 ruble. There are also rarer money made from precious metals, but it is unlikely that anyone will pay with it in a store: they cost much more than their face value.

In memory of Pushkin

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin is a great Russian poet. Born June 6, 1799. The future poet was brought up in a literary environment. In childhood, Alexander spent a lot of time with his grandmother, who hired a nanny for the boy - Arina Rodionovna. The latter had a great influence on the boy.

In 1811, the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum was opened in St. Petersburg. It was here that the first poems were written by the poet, the first poem "To a Poet Friend" was published. In the years after the Lyceum, he wrote the poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila".

For too much liberties in creativity in 1820, Alexander Sergeevich goes into exile, where he begins his famous novel in verse - "Eugene Onegin". Nicholas I granted Pushkin freedom in 1826, but already in 1828 the poet was put under supervision. An important event was the marriage of Pushkin in 1831 to Natalia Goncharova. Famous works were written during these years: "Dubrovsky", "The Captain's Daughter".

February 8, 1837, the poet was mortally wounded in a duel with Dantes, and died on February 10.

Collection ruble with Pushkin

In 1999, a series of coins depicting Pushkin was issued for the bicentenary of the great poet. By the way, this is not the first ruble with the imageAlexander Sergeevich. In the Soviet Union, there was 1 ruble with Pushkin, timed to coincide with his 185th birthday.

The modern coin was made from a rather rare alloy called nailziber, which includes zinc, nickel and copper. The ruble with Pushkin was issued at both mints - St. Petersburg and Moscow, the number of issued coins was up to 10,000,000 copies. Despite such a large distribution, the coin is rarely seen in circulation.

The obverse of the coin (this is the name of its front side, where the coat of arms, the designation of the bank, the mint and the year) is no different from the usual 1 ruble 1999. But on the reverse (reverse side) there is a portrait of the poet, under which there is the signature of Alexander Sergeevich, and also the years of life are indicated. It is impossible to exaggerate the contribution of a writer, a poet to Russian literature, Russian speech, to perpetuate a poet on 10 million coins is the least that can be done. The cost of a ruble with Pushkin starts at 200 rubles, often more expensive (it all depends on the condition of the coin).

Commonwe alth of Independent States

After the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the presidents of Russia, Ukraine and the chairman of the Supreme Council of Belarus signed an agreement on the establishment of the Commonwe alth of Independent States on December 8, 1991 in Belovezhskaya Pushcha. Gradually, the former allied countries joined the CIS. Thus, international relations took on a new form. Each country that is part of the CIS is fullyindependent state, has equal rights along with other participants.

The Commonwe alth includes: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. Like any union, the CIS has a number of common goals and principles, there are several specialized organizations that are needed to resolve narrower issues, as well as 2 military structures.

CIS collection ruble

After the collapse of the USSR, the continuation of interaction between the former allied countries that had existed together for more than 70 years, the need to conclude a certain union was paramount. In 2001, the Commonwe alth of Independent States celebrated its first major anniversary - a decade. The release of coins "10 years of the CIS" is timed to this event.

Like the ruble with Pushkin, the 2001 coin has a quite standard obverse and a rather interesting reverse with the image of the CIS symbol, as well as the inscription "10 years". At the same time, the number "10" is visible from one angle, and "years" - from another, which is also a distinctive feature of the coin. It is possible to draw a parallel by the number of minted coins, their circulation is also 10,000,000, and it is rather difficult to find a coin in circulation again. The price is several hundred rubles.

Collecting coins is quite an interesting activity. Therefore, you need to be attentive to all the little things that come across in change. What if there will be a treasured ruble with Pushkin or with a decade of the CIS?
