1991 Russia 1/4 oz Palladium Ballerina BU
1991 Russia 1/4 oz Palladium Ballerina BU
In 1991, the Bank of Russia released a remarkable tribute to the country's rich cultural heritage. This legal tender five-ruble coin, struck in a quarter ounce of fine palladium with a purity of 0.999, celebrates the world-renowned artistry of the Bolshoi Ballet. Minted at the historic St. Petersburg Mint, this issue had a limited production run of just 9,000 pieces, making it a highly specialized artifact from a transitional era. The obverse of the coin captures the elegance of classical dance, depicting a ballerina poised gracefully en pointe. This delicate artistic representation stands in contrast to the reverse, which displays the traditional Russian coat of arms featuring the iconic double-headed eagle. The inscriptions on the coin record its year of issue, 1991, alongside its face value of 5 rubles and its precise metal weight of 7.78 grams, which corresponds to its quarter-ounce palladium content.
