| Additional information |
Part of the Bank of Russia's long-running zodiac series, this piece was issued under the broader commemorative program that expanded aggressively through the 2000s as the CBR leaned into precious metal collectibles as a revenue stream. The .999 fineness was a deliberate departure from the .900 gold used in Soviet-era issues, positioning these explicitly as bullion-adjacent collector pieces rather than currency with any pretense of circulation.
