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.
