1978 Russia Gold 100 Roubles Olympic Lenin Stadium BU/Proof
Struck in 1978, this gold coin offers a fascinating glimpse into the preparations for the global athletic stage in Moscow. Containing exactly a half troy ounce of gold, the piece was minted to celebrate the upcoming summer games, blending sports imagery with national pride. One side of the coin showcases the expansive Lenin Stadium, paired with the official emblem of the 1980 Moscow Olympics. A Cyrillic inscription wraps around the design, translating to "Games of the XXII Olympiad Moscow 1980," marking the historic occasion. The other side displays the official State Emblem of the Soviet Union, positioned directly above the 100 Roubles face value. The prominent Cyrillic letters "CCCP" identify the issuing nation, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, making this coin a compelling artifact of late twentieth-century history.
