| Obverse description | Central field displays the coloured coat of arms of Crimea — a red shield bearing a rampant silver griffin — superimposed upon a colour-enamelled outline map of the Russian Federation, rendered in blue and red. Two classical columns flank the shield, with a rising sun above. The legend РОССИЙСКАЯ РЕСПУБЛИКА arcs around the upper field in Cyrillic, while КРЫМ appears in the lower exergual area. |

| Additional information |
Crimea has no independent monetary authority and has never issued legal tender. Pieces like this emerged in 2014 as fantasy strikes — privately produced novelty items capitalizing on the political turbulence following Russia's annexation of the peninsula in March of that year. No issuing government, no authorizing legislation, no mint of record.
