Comment
Date of issue: 01 JUL 2008Interesting fact
The European Beaver coin, minted in 2008, was part of a series of coins issued by the Russian Central Bank to promote the conservation of endangered species. The coin features an image of a beaver on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. The beaver is depicted in a naturalistic style, with detailed fur texture and a lifelike pose. The coin's design was created by the artist A. V. Bakhrushin, who is known for his work on various Russian coins. I hope you find this information interesting and helpful!
