| Additional information |
Issued under the CBR's long-running wildlife series, this 156.4g piece belongs to a program that has consistently attracted collector premiums well above melt — partly due to low mintages rarely exceeding a few hundred pieces, and partly because Russian commemorative gold of this size sees limited secondary market circulation outside domestic and Asian buyers.
