| Additional information |
The UN's 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights fell in 1998, and Russia's commemoration of it carried particular weight — the country was then barely six years removed from Soviet dissolution, still drafting and testing the constitutional architecture that would theoretically guarantee those rights domestically. The Bank of Russia issued several commemorative pieces that year tied to the theme, this being among them.
Mintage figures for this type were low even by Russian commemorative standards of the period.
