Comment

Date of issue: 25 OCT 1994

The sable, an extremely quick animal with exquisite fur, lives in coniferous forests from the north of the Ural mountains to the Pacific ocean. Russians have hunted the sable, highly valued for its fur since olden times and the animal is represented in the coat of arms of the old Russian cities of Irkutsk, Yakutsk, and Verkhoturye.

Interesting fact

Its unique design features a sable, a small mammal native to Russia, on the obverse, while the reverse bears the Russian coat of arms and the denomination. The coin's mintage was limited to only 25,000 pieces, adding to its exclusivity and appeal among collectors.
