“Red Data Book” series

USSR, Russian Federation, 1991–2026

In the catalogue: commemorative coins — 15, collector coins — 72.

One of the longest-running nature series: since 1991 the coins have shown rare animals and plants from the Red Data Book, from the Amur tiger and the wisent to the Alpine longhorn beetle and the white-tongued dandelion. The series was started by the USSR State Bank and continued by the Bank of Russia; in the early years base-metal coins were issued too, but most of the series consists of silver one- and two-rouble coins.
