| Additional information |
Vladimir-on-the-Klyazma joined the long-running "Ancient Towns of Russia" bimetallic series, a program the Bank of Russia has sustained since 2002 to circulate numismatic interest through everyday commerce rather than collector cabinets. The city itself was the seat of the Grand Duchy of Vladimir, which effectively functioned as the political center of northeastern Rus from the mid-12th century until Moscow absorbed its primacy in the 14th.
These circulated widely and attrition was high — vending machines and public transit chewed through bimetallic 10-rouble pieces at a rate that makes genuinely uncirculated examples harder to find than mintage figures suggest.
