| Additional information |
There is no sovereign or administrative entity called "North Pole" with authority to issue currency, and no internationally recognized 5-rouble bimetallic piece attributable to such an issuer exists in standard numismatic references. This is almost certainly a privately produced novelty or souvenir token — a category that proliferated in Russia and Eastern Europe after the 1990s, often mimicking official coinage in size and bimetal format without any legal tender status. Buyer should verify issuing authority before cataloging as a coin.
