Comment
The 1000th Anniversary of the Christianization of Rus' was an occasion marked by events held in the USSR from May – June 1988, to celebrate the introduction of Christianity to Russia by Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich in 988. Originally, the celebrations were planned for the church only. However, the anniversary became a statewide event. That this was allowed to occur marked a shift in Soviet policy concerning the church. The General Assembly of UNESCO was called to note: "1000 years of the establishment of Christianity in Russia is the biggest event in European and world history and culture."Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the Christianization of Rus, which was a significant event in the history of Russia and the Orthodox Church. The coin's design features an image of Prince Vladimir, who is credited with the conversion of Kievan Rus' to Christianity, and a depiction of the Baptism of Prince Vladimir, which symbolizes the baptism of Russia. The coin's palladium composition and 31.1g weight also make it a unique and valuable collector's item.
