Additional information

Part of Russia's ongoing "Outstanding Monuments of the Peoples of Russia" commemorative program, this issue documents the indigenous peoples of Kamchatka — a peninsula so remote that Russian imperial authority didn't consolidate there until the early eighteenth century, following Atlasov's expedition of 1697–99. The Itelmen, Koryak, and other groups maintained largely autonomous lifeways well into the Soviet period, when collectivization campaigns systematically disrupted their subsistence economies.

The .900 fine silver specification places this firmly within the Bank of Russia's standard commemorative bullion format for the series, struck at the Moscow Mint.
