Date of issue: 27 FEB 2003Interesting fact
The 2003 Russian 3 Roubles silver coin commemorating the World Biathlon Championship features a unique design that incorporates a tiny piece of a biathlon target range on the reverse side. This innovative design element was achieved by using a special minting technique that allowed for the inclusion of a small amount of actual biathlon target material into the coin's minting process. This distinctive feature makes the coin truly stand out and serves as a symbol of the coin's connection to the biathlon sport.
