| Additional information |
This piece is one of the largest silver coins Russia has ever issued — 3.25 kilograms of sterling is not incidental; it reflects a deliberate prestige-minting strategy the Bank of Russia deployed across its Sochi 2014 Olympic program to produce showpiece collector items alongside the standard bullion and commemorative runs. The series was authorized under a government program that tied coin issuance directly to federal infrastructure spending on the Krasnodar Krai venues, an unusual formal linkage between fiscal policy and numismatic release.
At 130 mm across, handling without purpose-built support is inadvisable.
