Additional information

Issued as part of Russia's "Skazki Narodov Mira" (World Folk Tales) series, this coin draws on the version of the Sleeping Beauty tale popularized in Russia through Tchaikovsky's 1890 ballet rather than the Perrault or Grimm literary sources. The series was among the first prestige gold programs launched by the Bank of Russia following the Soviet collapse, arriving while the ruble was still in freefall — the 1995 denomination face value was essentially symbolic from the moment of issue.
