| Additional information |
Mordovia is a real federal subject of Russia, but it issues no currency — these "10 Rouble" pieces are fantasy items produced without any governmental or central bank authorization, capitalizing on regional identity for the collector novelty market. Russia's actual bimetallic 10-rouble commemoratives for its constituent republics are struck by the Moscow and Saint Petersburg mints under Central Bank mandate; Mordovia received a legitimate issue in 2022. This brass piece belongs to no such program.
