Description
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation introduced new coins in 1992 in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 rubles. In 1993, aluminium-bronze 50 ruble coins and cupro-nickel-zinc 100 ruble coins were issued, and the material of 10 and 20 ruble coins was changed to nickel-plated steel. In 1995 the material of 50 rubles coins was changed to brass-plated steel, but the coins were minted with the old date 1993.
