| Additional information |
The "North Pole" issuer designation refers to the series of novelty tokens produced for the Russian polar expedition gift trade — they carry no legal tender status under any recognized monetary authority and were never intended for circulation. Whether this qualifies as a coin at all is a question serious collectors have settled firmly in the negative.
