Special facts
The Astrakhan Region lies on the lower Volga, where the river spreads into a wide delta by the Caspian Sea. Its centre is Astrakhan with its 16th-century white-stone kremlin; the region is famous for fish, caviar and watermelons. The Volga delta holds the Astrakhan Nature Reserve, where the lotus blooms in summer. The 10-rouble coin "Astrakhan Region" was issued in 2008 in the "Russian Federation" series.
