| Additional information |
This coin belongs to a commemorative series issued by the Bank of Russia to mark the new millennium, with "Scientific and Technical Progress and Cooperation" as one of several thematic entries released in 2000. Russia's post-Soviet commemorative gold program expanded aggressively through the late 1990s, targeting collector markets as hard currency revenues from numismatic exports became a meaningful line item for the central bank.
Mintages for this series were tightly capped, most in the low thousands.
