3 Roubles The Frog Princess

Part of the Bank of Russia's long-running folklore series, this issue draws on the Frog Princess tale — one of the oldest narratives in the East Slavic canon, documented by folklorist Alexander Afanasyev in his 19th-century collections but rooted in oral traditions centuries older. The series has been a consistent vehicle for Russian silver commemoratives since the 1990s, producing dozens of types across multiple denominations.

Mintage on folklore issues in this series typically ran between 3,000 and 7,500 pieces, keeping secondary market premiums firm but not extreme.
