| Additional information |
The Sedov is the largest traditionally rigged sailing vessel still in operation — a four-masted barque built in Kiel in 1921 as the Magdalene Vinnen II, later seized by the Soviet Union as war reparations in 1945. By 2001, she was operating as a training ship out of Murmansk under the State Academy of Fishing. This coin was issued the same year Russia was quietly negotiating the terms of her continued operation amid chronic underfunding of the merchant fleet following Soviet collapse.
The coin itself is a deliberate display piece — over a kilogram of .900 silver at 100mm across, part of a broader Russian series using outsized formats for prestige maritime subjects. Mintage was strictly limited.
