Additional information

Rwanda has no historical connection to the Bolshoi Theatre, and this coin exists entirely within the modern bullion-novelty market — a category in which Rwanda's central bank has been an unusually prolific issuer since the early 2010s, licensing foreign-designed pieces primarily for European collector distribution. At 0.155 grams of .9999 gold, it belongs to the fractional micro-gold format pioneered by MDM Münzhandelsgesellschaft and similar German trading houses, who approach national mints with turnkey programs.

The Bolshoi's main stage reopened in October 2011 after a six-year, $700 million reconstruction — the costliest theatre renovation in Russian history.
