2 Roubles Gemini

Part of Russia's long-running commemorative series honoring the signs of the zodiac, this issue was produced by the Saint Petersburg Mint (СПМД) in the mid-2000s when the Bank of Russia was releasing dozens of collector-focused silver pieces annually — a program driven as much by foreign numismatic demand as domestic interest. Mintages for the zodiac pieces in this series typically ran to 10,000 pieces, keeping secondary market premiums modest but stable.
