“Games of the XXII Olympiad, Moscow 1980” series

USSR, 1977–1980

In the catalogue: commemorative coins — 6, collector coins — 39.

The first large commemorative coin programme of the USSR: for the 1980 Olympics, silver, gold and platinum coins and six commemorative roubles were issued in 1977–1980. The silver coins show sports and cities, including folk games such as gorodki and reindeer racing, and the gold coins show Olympic venues. The platinum 150 roubles were the country’s first platinum coins since the reign of Nicholas I.

They were also the first Soviet commemorative coins in precious metals: before the Olympics, anniversary roubles had been struck only in base alloys. The silver 5 and 10 roubles came out in themed groups: the host cities, Olympic sports and folk contests.
