| Additional information |
This piece was issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Allied victory in World War II, commemorating the wartime summit conferences — Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam — at which Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill, and later Truman negotiated the shape of the postwar world. At 1111.12 grams of .900 silver, it is one of the heaviest coins Russia produced in the 1990s commemorative program, a period when the newly reconstituted Bank of Russia issued ambitious large-format pieces partly as hard-currency revenue instruments for the international collector market.
Mintages for this type were small. The Yalta Conference it references ran February 4–11, 1945.
