| Additional information |
The Typhoon class — built at Severodvinsk beginning in the late 1970s — was the largest submarine ever constructed, each hull displacing 48,000 tons submerged and carrying 20 RSM-52 ballistic missiles. Only six were completed before the Soviet collapse made the program economically unsustainable. By 2010, three had been scrapped under Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction funding, with the United States effectively paying Russia to dismantle its own nuclear fleet.
Fiji's commemorative coin program has long issued pieces with no connection to Fijian history or geography, contracting designs through third-party minting houses for the collector market.
