| Additional information |
Nizhnevartovsk, a Siberian oil city founded as a permanent settlement only in 1972, sits atop one of the largest petroleum deposits ever discovered — the Samotlor field, which at peak production in the late 1970s was pumping roughly 3 million barrels per day. Niue's practice of issuing commemorative dollars honoring obscure Russian cities was a straightforward revenue arrangement: the coins were legal tender in name only, sold directly to collectors, and never intended to circulate.
