What coins are worth 10 rubles. The most expensive coins of modern Russia (prices, photos)

The idea to write this article arose after a lot of questions coming to the site. website - Numismatics Online. Many novice numismatists are interested in the question of the value of a regular minted coin. Visitors to the site send photos of their coins with various minting features, with a request to clarify their rarity and value. In this article, we will consider rare varieties of coins with a face value of 10 rubles in 2010 with brass plating. Let's start with the fact that the production of coins of 10 rubles began in 2009 and only the Moscow (MMD) Mint was engaged in their production. And, since 2010, the coin has been produced both at the Moscow and St. Petersburg (SPMD) mints, and this is where the fun begins.

It is the coins of 10 rubles of 2010 that have an increased interest among collectors due to the large number of varieties, it is worth noting that among them there are really rare ones, which means they are expensive. The characteristics of the 10 ruble coin have not changed since the beginning of their minting, the coins are made of steel with a brass galvanic coating. The coin has magnetic properties and has the shape of a yellow disk. Diameter - 22.00 mm, thickness - 2.2 mm, weight - 5.63 g. Edge - discontinuously - ribbed (6 sections of 5 reefs and 6 sections of 7 reefs, alternating with 12 smooth sections). There is not a wide edging on the obverse and reverse.
The mintage of a coin of 10 rubles in 2010 is not known, but it can be stated with confidence that it was very large, the price for coins of ordinary varieties does not differ from the face value.

Obverse

The design is quite simple, visually similar to other regular minted coins issued by the Central Bank of Russia. Above, along the edge, there is an inscription: "TEN RUBLES", under the inscription, just above the center of the coin, there is the emblem of the Bank of Russia and is a double-headed eagle with spread wings, the mint monogram is located under the bird's right paw. Below the emblem of the bank, from one paw of the eagle to the other, there is an inscription: "BANK OF RUSSIA". A decorative dividing element with a dot in the middle separates the year of minting - "2010" from the main drawing.

Reverse

Against the background of vertical shading, slightly to the left and above the center of the coin field, there is the number "10" indicating the denomination, below the word "RUBLE". Inside the number "0" there is a vertical hatching in which are visible alternately, when changing the angle of view, the images of the number "10" and the inscription "RUB". To the right of the denomination numbers, there is a decorative vegetation consisting of stems with curved leaves, the same ornamental elements are minted to the left of the number "1".

Coins minted by the St. Petersburg Mint have one clearly visible variety. On some coins, the hatching inside the "0" number in the denomination designation has solid, long strokes (going from one inner side of the number to the other) and has no gap between the strokes and the "0" itself. In the main part of the coins of 10 rubles (SPmd), these features are edged with an indented line along the entire inner circumference of the zero. The price of a rare variety of coin, depending on the condition, is 1000-1500 rubles.

To date, it is known for certain about six varieties of stamps of 10 rubles in 2010 minted by the Moscow Mint. We will carefully consider only four of them, because as soon as they are rare and are estimated at 600-700 rubles, provided that they are not lower than AU (About Uncirculated) on the Sheldon scale. So, take a close look at the mint mark.

Varieties of rare coins 10 rubles 2010

Variety 1. The mint mark is slightly turned clockwise, the inscriptions are far from the edge.

Variety 2. The mintmark is very thick, slightly lower than usual, the inscriptions are far from the edge.

Variety 3. The mintmark is massive, located close to the paw of the eagle, all the inscriptions and other elements are thicker.

Variety 4. The mint mark is half-mast, the inscriptions are far from the edge.

4 more minor variants of the position of the sign md are known, which in this case are not significant.

To summarize: in order to find out if your coin of 10 rubles of 2010 is valuable, you need to pay attention to the number "0" if the coin was minted by the St. Petersburg Mint, and to the mint mark if the coin was minted in Moscow.

I hope that this article was useful to you and finally removed questions about the rarity and varieties of the "dozens" of 2010. Send your questions, comments and suggestions to: [email protected] website.

Russian commemorative coins with a face value of 10 rubles are in high demand among collectors, and many people who are far from numismatics are happy to keep them as bright memorable souvenirs. The popularity of these coins is due original design, relevance of the subject, availability and quite reasonable price. And also by the fact that the list of commemorative 10 ruble coins is replenished annually.

Bimetallic commemorative coins 10 rubles, 2000 and 2001

Again, bimetallic coins began to be issued only in 2000. The first to start the list of commemorative 10 rubles was a coin dedicated to. And in the next 2001, another anniversary, significant for the country, was marked with the release of a ten-ruble coin -.

Both of them were released with a circulation of 20 million copies. Production was carried out both at the Moscow and St. Petersburg mints. 10 million were minted on each, as a result, the coins have two varieties each, differing in monograms indicating the place of minting. (MMD and SPMD). You can currently buy them at a price of about 100 - 120 rubles.

The new bimetallic coins began to differ significantly from those that were issued before 1992. Firstly, they became larger, the diameter increased (27 mm against the former 25), and secondly, the combination of metals changed: the center began to be made of white copper-nickel alloy (cupronickel), and the disk surrounding it, on the contrary, became brass (yellow copper-nickel). zinc alloy).

The resulting highly artistic solution, used in the design of the coins, was very much to the liking of lovers of numismatics. It can be said that the success of these 2 coins among collectors and the entire population finally determined the design of subsequent anniversaries made of non-precious metals, intended for mass monetary circulation. And since that time, the issue of commemorative commemorative coins has become annual.

Serial 10 ruble commemorative coins, since 2002.

Already in June 2002, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation issued the first three coins of the series - Staraya Russa, Derbent and Kostroma. And three months later, seven jubilee ten-ruble notes dedicated to . The circulation of each of them amounted to 5 million copies. The cost of coins dedicated to ancient Russian cities 2002 - 2006 - 100 rubles, issues of 2007 - 2009 - are valued at 200 - 300, later ones are valued at 100 rubles.

In subsequent years, issues of bimetallic coins dedicated to the ancient cities of Russia continued: on average, 3-4 coins are issued per year. In 2005, a jubilee 10 ruble coin dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the Victory was issued in a huge circulation of 60 million pieces. And from the same year, the minting of a new, rather extensive geographical series began - which is dedicated to the subjects of the Federation, regions, territories, republics (circulations of 10 million pieces). Considering that there are 85 subjects of the Russian Federation, then it will last no less than a year until 2025. The price for coins of the "Regions of the Russian Federation" series is 30 - 40 rubles.

In 2010, a very unpleasant situation occurred with the release of this series. For some unknown reason (perhaps there were not enough bimetallic circles), instead of the declared 10 million, the circulation of some coins amounted to only 100 thousand copies, i.e. a hundred times less. This led to the fact that the collection value has grown significantly, so now a coin dedicated to the Chechen Republic can only be purchased at a price of 7,000 rubles, and it is difficult to buy the “Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug” at a cost of less than 10,000 rubles.

At the same time, in 2010, coins based on copper alloys were finally forced out of money circulation; they were replaced with steel - with a nickel or brass coating. Since that time, the minting of bimetallic commemorative 10 ruble coins has ceased, with the exception of those included in the "Ancient Cities" and "Subjects of the Russian Federation" series. New anniversaries began to be minted on steel billets with a diameter of 22 mm, with brass plating, like 10 ruble coins in regular circulation

According to the plan for issuing commemorative coins for 2017, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation will issue bimetallic coins of the series " Russian Federation” and “Ancient cities of Russia” made of steel with galvanized coatings. But in 2017, the issue of ordinary steel coins with brass plating will still be preserved, in this version coins dedicated to the Hero Cities of Kerch and Sevastopol will be released. The new bimetallic coins will have both ring and center magnetic. The obvious reason for the future appearance of a magnetic bimetal is the reduction in the cost of the manufacturing process of this type of coins.

Steel commemorative coins of 10 rubles, issued since 2010

The first in the catalog of commemorative 10 ruble coins with a new design were copies dedicated (65 years in 2010) and the flight of Yuri Gagarin (50 years in 2011). Then, in 2012, two coins were issued: in memory of the 1150th anniversary of Russian statehood and the 200th anniversary of the victory in. In 2013, the collections of numismatists were replenished with issues for (2 pieces) and the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad. But the most notable event was the start of minting a new coin series (since 2011) - the current price for which is quite affordable and does not exceed 30 rubles.

For collectors interested in varieties, I note that in the period from 2007 to 2009, coins were minted immediately by SPMD and MMD. As a result, in the numismatic catalogs and lists of 10 ruble commemorative coins, 18 varieties appeared, differing only in the monogram - the designation of the mint. After this period, regular minting was carried out only on SPMD.

Commemorative coins of 10 rubles are the most popular among collectors, besides being very beautiful and originally executed, they are also very informative. All together, this serves as a guarantee of not subsiding, but on the contrary, an ever-growing interest in numismatics. Not left out of this surge of interest and market traders of various numismatic products. So it appeared quite big offer albums for ten ruble commemorative coins, which have the most diverse design and are formed to accommodate coins both by year of issue, and by size, by series. At the same time, other denominations of 1, 2 and 5 rubles, as well as Sochi 25 rubles, are not forgotten.

Every year, for each coin series, colorfully designed official booklets of the Central Bank are issued, with the inclusion of a commemorative token and commemorative coins in the selection. current year release.

What affects the cost of commemorative coins with a face value of 10 rubles

True, now almost everything is already bought up at the "root" by "bugs" - dealers and then sold to "bugs" - resellers, in such bags of 500 pieces.

The cost of commemorative coins consists of several components. Initially, we note that the main part of the circulation of coins "Regions of the Russian Federation" is sent to those republics and regions to which specific coins are dedicated. It is clear that on Far East it is easier to find coins dedicated to Primorye or the Sakhalin region. There they can give it for change, and in the west of the country they will be happy to buy them and are several times more expensive than their face value. The formation of market prices for commemorative coins largely depends on such unevenness.

Also, the value of coins is significantly affected by their safety, coins in the state of AC, i.e. just from a bank bag, without the slightest nicks and scuffs, they are valued significantly more than those that looked like wallets in pockets.

Over time, the coins are “washed out” of circulation (set aside as a keepsake) and begin to come across less and less, which also increases the cost of commemorative coins, so that the issues of the early 2000s now cost collectors many times more than those that came out not so long ago.

The mintage of the coin is also of great importance. For example, bimetallic commemorative coins of 10 rubles of the “Ministries” and “Ancient cities of Russia” series, minted in circulations of 5 million pieces, are slightly higher than coins of the “Regions of the Russian Federation” series, which are issued in circulations twice as large.

In addition, among the commemorative coins there are quite rare varieties and marriages formed during minting. They don't come across very often and cost a lot. So part of the commemorative coins of 2013 - North Ossetia were mistakenly issued with a herd intended for having exactly the same size, 25 ruble Olympic coins. That is, instead of frequent corrugations of 300 narrow strips, 180 wider ones are applied to them. This is clearly seen when examining the coin; such a “mistake” costs collectors more than 1,500 rubles.

At some auctions, with a very decent starting price, defective 10-ruble commemorative coins are sold, which twice fell under the press that minted them and received a strong shift when applying the second image. But there are lovers who are ready to pay a price of more than 10,000 rubles for such a defective coin.

All more people begin to get involved in numismatics. Many people start collecting with 10 ruble coins. Those who have been collecting collections from the very first issues can easily sort out all the memorable series without much effort. Of no small importance is the mint at which the monetary unit was issued. Numismatists can easily distinguish which 10-ruble commemorative coin is expensive and rare, and which is of no particular value.

And those who have just begun to learn all the intricacies of collecting coins will have to face many subtleties and nuances. In this article we will talk about worth 10-ruble coins.

Types of tens

Most of the coins that were issued on the anniversary of a cultural and historical event are bimetallic. They are the most popular among collectors.

However, it is no secret to anyone that throughout the territory of the Russian Federation there are two types of ten-ruble coins in circulation. So, starting from 2000, the Bank of Russia began to put into circulation bimetallic tens. They consist of two discs. The central one is made of cupronickel, and the outer one is made of brass.

After 10 years, in 2010, the minting of modern 10-ruble coins begins. They are made of steel, but have a galvanized brass finish.

Almost all collectors are very interested in whether they will come across rare 10-ruble coins in change. They are distributed across the country very unevenly, and many have already settled with collectors. It all depends on luck and luck.

How the price of a coin is determined

There are a number of factors that determine the most expensive 10-ruble coins. For those who are just starting to deal with numismatics, it is very important to remember them. Only in this way is it possible to make the most correct assessment of the value of 10 ruble coins.

The first thing you need to pay attention to when buying is the degree of safety of the monetary copy. Even minor abrasions will reduce the cost by several times. Coins that have retained their original luster are much more valuable. Do not try to make them shine yourself. This further reduces the estimated cost. For their purification are sold special means, but it is better to contact the master.

Secondly, the circulation of the issue also affects the price. Rare 10-ruble coins are valued much higher. For example, a copy of "Chechnya" can reach a cost of more than 10,000 rubles.

Coins with a marriage or a defect are subject to a separate assessment, as this makes them unique. Marriages can be of the following types:

• wrong turn;
• incomplete coinage;
• displacement of a drawing or inscription;
• split or bite of the stamp.

The rarest defect in bimetallic 10-ruble coins is double cutting. Another view is the displacement of the central insert in any direction.

Of course, the most expensive 10-ruble coins are extremely rare. The chance of finding them in change with change is very small. Such a copy is easier to purchase from other collectors.

How many coins exist

Any person who has at least a couple of dozen banknotes from the anniversary series in his collection is interested in how many of them were issued by the Bank of Russia. Knowing this, one can easily calculate which 10-ruble coins are left to purchase for a complete collection. To get this information, you can go to specialized forums. Not only the banknotes themselves, but their value will be described here. In addition, you can view the entire list of 10-ruble coins on the official website of Sberbank of Russia.

To date, there are about 110 different types of ten-ruble commemorative coins. They include different series of old and new samples. In order not to be repeated, it is very important to know all the series of releases. It will be very difficult to find them in full force.

Coins of old and new design

The most familiar to all commemorative 10-ruble coin is a ten, which is made of two metals, that is, bimetallic. Such series are released, as a rule, for some significant event or anniversary. In addition, such dozens are issued with an indication of the image of the country's major cities. On them reverse side(reverse) the coat of arms of the city is placed.

Bimetallic coins are easily recognizable due to their distinctive characteristics:

• The diameter is larger than that of ordinary coins. It is twenty-seven millimeters.
• Inside zero, in the inscription "10" on the front side, there is another number 10. It can be seen by turning the coin at a different angle.
• The coin itself consists of two metals, brass and cupronickel. They are clearly separated from each other.

Such a familiar design and attracts this version of new collectors. They differ from each other in the image on the back. Bimetallic tens were produced until 2010.

Modern 10-ruble coins of Russia are made of steel, and yellow they are given a brass finish. Such a coin, unlike a bimetallic one, is not so clearly expressed among a handful of other small things. In addition, over time, it loses its luster.

The steel ten has a size equal to twenty-two millimeters in diameter. The coin is completely one color. But the location of the coats of arms of the cities, as well as images indicating the anniversary of significant events, are also on the reverse (back side).

The number "10" is minted on the front side, at the zero of which you can see the second ten.

Series of coins

A lot of commemorative 10-ruble coins were published in whole series. Of course, there are single instances, but now they are not about them.

Few people know, probably only numismatists, the exact number of series. There are only four of them, while the coins themselves are 110. For this reason, it may seem that a dozen are much more.

The first issues of serial commemorative coins were launched in 2002. But at the same time, single copies of dozens were minted in 2000.

Up to this point, copies of commemorative coins were very difficult to get for ordinary people. This is due to the fact that they were made only from precious metals.

During these years, only one of the four series of commemorative coins was completed. This series was dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the formation of various Ministries in the Russian Federation. Later, numismatists began to replenish their collections with the other three.

Of all four series, three are bimetallic, and only one is a new sample of steel.

Coins with Russian regions

Of course, the Bank of Russia could not but issue a series of coins, which will depict the regions and cities of the Russian Federation. The very first 10-ruble coins of Russia were issued on December 27, 2005, by the St. Petersburg Mint. It was dedicated to one of the oldest regions of the Russian Federation - Leningrad. At the same time, dozens with images of other regions were also minted. So, a coin with the Tver region was published. The year of its formation is 1935. In total, six types of coins were issued that day. In addition to the above, bimetallic tens were minted with the Oryol region, the Republic of Tatarstan, Krasnodar Territory and, of course, with Moscow.

On August 1, 2006, five more types of commemorative banknotes are put into circulation. So almost everyone was able to replenish their collections with 10-ruble coins of Russia with images of the Primorsky Territory, the Sakhalin Region, the Sakha and Altai Republics, as well as the Chita Region. Unfortunately, now the Chita region has remained only in the memories and on this coin. After its unification with the Aginsk and Buryat Autonomous Okrugs, the territory of these regions was called the Trans-Baikal Territory.

Already on April 2, 2007, three more coins of this series appear. They have on their reverse images of the Rostov and Novosibirsk regions, as well as the Republic of Bashkortostan.

On July 2 of the same year, coins are issued dedicated to the Lipetsk and Arkhangelsk regions, the Republic of Khakassia.

Until 2007, each of the coins was issued by one of the courts - Moscow or St. Petersburg. And already in 2008, the same ten was minted at two mints at once.

This year, four more banknotes from the "Russian Federation" series are issued. They are dedicated to the Astrakhan and Sverdlovsk regions, as well as the republics of Udmurtia and Kabardino-Balkaria.

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that a mistake was made on the coin with the coat of arms of the Sverdlovsk region, which was issued in a circulation of ten million copies. Instead of the imperial crown, a princely one was minted.

Further, in 2009, numismatists' collections are replenished with dozens of images of the republics of Adygea, Kalmykia and Komi. Coins with the regions of Kirov and Jewish Autonomous were also issued.

The release of the series did not stop there. In 2010, the rarest 10-ruble coins were minted. it Perm region, the Chechen Republic and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Another coin, not so rare, also appeared this year. It is dedicated to the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

The following year, two more collectible coins are issued - the Republic of Buryatia and the Voronezh Region. Further it's a year silence, and in 2013 two more new tens appear in circulation. They are dedicated to the republics of Dagestan and North Ossetia-Alania.

The last coins from this series, which is the largest, come out in 2014. Their reverse depicts the coats of arms of Penza, Saratov, Tyumen and Chelyabinsk regions, as well as the Republic of Ingushetia. Photos of 10-ruble coins with these images are in the public domain for those interested.

The information from the Central Bank of Russia has not yet been received about whether it is planned to issue coins depicting the coats of arms of other regions.

ancient cities

This series of 10-ruble coins appeared earlier than the one described above, in the second half of 2002.

On the front side of it, the nominal value of "10 rubles" is also depicted, but on the back the main attraction of the city is placed. Its name is indicated at the bottom of the reverse. The coin is bimetallic, and the circulation of each of them is ten million copies.

The very first three coins of this series entered circulation on June 27, 2002. Their reverse depicts landscapes of the cities of Staraya Russa, Derbent and Kostroma.

The following year, collectors acquired coins from the cities of Pskov, Mur, Kasimov and Dorogobuzh. The year 2004 pleased numismatists with the release of three more new signs. They depicted the cities of Dmitrov, Ryazhsk and Kem. But dozens with Kaliningrad, Ryazan, Mtsensk and Borovsk entered circulation the following year.

In 2006, coins with the cities came out: Torzhok, Belgorod and Kargopol. Three anniversary dozens came out the following year. They depict the cities of Gdov, Veliky Ustyug and Vologda.

2008 replenished the collections with coins from the cities of Vladimir, Priozersk, Azov and Smolensk. The issue of coins from this series did not stop for the next year. Dozens appeared with the cities of Kaluga, Galich, Velikiy Novgorod and Vyborg. Years 2010 and 11 pleased collectors with coins with the cities of Bryansk, Yuryevsk, Solikamsk and Yelets. In 2012, another ten-ruble coin with the image of Belozersk was put into circulation. The next year they were not issued, and in 2014 a dozen with the city of Nerekhta were published.

Hero cities

A new series of coins "Cities-Heroes" and "Cities of Military Glory" appeared in 2011. At this time, they already began to produce modern, familiar to all dozens, made of steel. Their size is slightly smaller, twenty-two millimeters in diameter. They have a solid golden color, which provides a brass coating.

Now about which coins from this series and in what year were minted.

The very first ones began to go into circulation from May to November 2011. They depicted the following Hero Cities and Cities of Military Glory: Rzhev, Vladikavkaz, Orel, Yelets, Belgorod, Kursk, Malgobek, Yelnya.

After in 2012, the collections of numismatists are replenished with dozens of images of the cities of Dmitrov, Voronezh, Polyarny, Tuapse, Rostov-on-Don, Veliky Novgorod and Velikiye Luki.

Eight more new coins appear in 2013. Such cities “flaunt” on their reverse: Kozelsk, Bryansk, Arkhangelsk, Naro-Fominsk, Pskov, Kronstadt, Vyazma, Volokolamsk.

2014 is not far behind. He replenishes his collections with coins depicting the cities of Tikhvin, Anapa, Tver, Kolpino, Vyborg, Stary Oskol, Vladivostok, Nalchik.

The final eight coins from the series came out in 2015. The emblems of the cities of Maloyaroslavets, Khabarovsk, Lomonosov, Taganrog, Kalach-on-Don, Kovrov, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Mozhaisk were depicted on the coins.

Series "Ministries"

In 2002 the Ministries of Russia turned 200 years old. In honor of this, a series of coins was issued, which consisted of 7 types of bimetallic 10-ruble coins. They were minted on September 6 and are dedicated to the anniversary of the following Ministries:

• Justice of the Russian Federation.
• Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation.
• Economic development and trade.
• Foreign Affairs.
• RF education.
• Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

These coins have the symbols of the indicated ministries on their reverse, indicating the name of the structural unit. Obverse is standard.

Coins issued for significant events

To various significant dates that have importance for the Russian Federation, the Bank of Russia also issued commemorative coins.

In 2001, a series dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the first manned space flight was released.

In 2005, everyone celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The Central Bank could not fail to mark such an important event for the history of Russia. For this reason, another commemorative coin was issued.

Many people remember the 2010 census. This event is very significant for the country, and in his honor, another banknote.

The coin dedicated to the 1150th anniversary of Russian statehood was put into circulation in 2012.

In the same year, the Central Bank of Russia issues another anniversary banknote. It recalls the Patriotic War of 1812. This year marked the 200th anniversary of the victory in it.

In 2013, the Universiade was held in Kazan. It brought together the youth of the country for eleven days. It took place from 6 to 17 June. To preserve the memory of this event, another coin was issued, which depicts the mascot of the Universiade.

Another ten-ruble steel coin is dedicated to the same event. But only it shows the logo of the Universiade.

On December 25, 2013, the text of the New Constitution of the Russian Federation comes into force. The previous Constitution was in force on the territory of Russia for twenty whole years. It was decided to celebrate this anniversary event by issuing a commemorative coin.

Also in 2013, the country celebrated another important event - the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Stalingrad. The coin went into circulation on May 24 with a circulation of ten million copies.

How and where to buy and sell

Buying or selling existing coins is not difficult. They are in great demand, and every year it only increases.

You can sell or buy commemorative 10-ruble coins of Russia in specialized numismatic stores or on websites on the Internet.

Commemorative coins of 10 rubles cause not only a desire to collect them, but also questions: how many of them have been put into circulation, which ones are planned for release next year, which of the coins is the most valuable. Let's try to figure it out.

The series to which the commemorative coin belongs also affects the formation of the price. There are series of coins that ended about a decade ago. In addition, the circulation was also relatively small. For example, the series "Ministries" began and ended in 2002, each copy was released in 5 million copies. This is not as much as 10-20 million, so the coins are in demand, they will be well paid for.

The price of one commemorative coin with a face value of 10 rubles is equal to 45-200 rubles.

For some varieties, they can give several hundred, or even thousands, but there are few such specimens. A little later we will return to their consideration.

10 rubles from the series "Ministry"

I would like to talk about the unique external differences coins that were formed as a result of a factory marriage. Such copies are always relevant and expensive. The mint mark should also be included here. The issue of commemorative coins was also carried out by the Moscow and St. Petersburg mints. Therefore, each coin has a corresponding sign. Only a few copies were issued simultaneously by both mints, which led to their rise in price on the numismatic market.

The mint's trademark affects the value of a coin in another context as well. For example, coins marked "MMD" are found in different cases more or less frequently. For something less common, a collector is always willing to pay twice as much.

How many commemorative coins are there?

If a person has already collected more than a dozen commemorative coins in denominations of 10 rubles, he will be interested in how many copies he has left to collect to achieve the maximum completeness of the collection. This can be helped by a list of commemorative coins with a face value of 10 rubles, which can be found on numismatic sites or on the official website of Sberbank.

How many commemorative coins of 10 rubles can be counted on your own using the same list. To date, about 110 different denominations of 10-ruble coins have been issued as part of different series. Finding them in their entirety is almost impossible. In addition, the search requires knowledge of all titles in the series, so as not to be repeated.

You always have the opportunity to withdraw this "ten" from the country's money circulation, as many do today. If the coin is new. If she is at least 5 years old, one should expect that a certain amount is seized by collectors, and the copy will have to be redeemed from them if necessary.

About "old" coins and coins of "new design"

Traditionally, the jubilee "ten" is made of bimetal, and looks very solid for an ordinary coin. And this is no ordinary coin. She is dedicated to important event, and its great anniversary. Or solemnly reminds us of what a huge country we live in, with the image of the coat of arms on the reverse.

There are several characteristic "highlights" that made the coin easily recognizable and special:

• Coin diameter 27 mm, i.e. it is much larger than its counterparts;
• Inside the zero in the number "10" there is a special shading, on which at different angles you can see the duplicate inscription "10 rubles";
• The materials from which the coin is made are clearly separated from each other. This is a cupronickel (silver) disk in a brass (yellow) rim.

This is what attracts jubilee 10 rubles: a standard, well-established, familiar design. Only the reverses with a figurative image of the object to which they owe their issue differ. These are the coins of the "old" sample of the standard coinage. They were produced until 2010.

The Cities of Military Glory series, the Universiade coin and many others are made in a different style. Most likely, the changes were caused by the desire to simplify the process of minting. Because these coins are not so easy to recognize in a handful of ordinary coins. No, the issue of bimetallic (“old”) coins does not stop there, because. there were unfinished series, the appearance of which is undesirable to change. But for release in 2015, for example, only three of them are planned, while the “new model” is at least eight.

New commemorative coins of 10 rubles are made of steel clad with brass. It looks like a small and heavy yellow coin with a pleasant olive tint. But it does not stand out from the background of other metallic money as much as the classic bimetal.

The diameter of the new steel coin is 22 mm, and, as already mentioned, it is one-color. But at the same time, the ensemble of design elements and their structure, location on the obverse, remained unchanged. To see this, just look at the photo. The same olive and oak branches on the obverse, the same shading inside the “zero”, the inscription “BANK OF RUSSIA” in the upper segment of the disk.

Does the design of a coin affect its value?

On the this moment it is not easy to find out whether changes in the design of the coin affect the value. Here the "age" of the coin is more affected. The older she is, the more expensive. The aesthetic tastes of collectors differ, so there will always be a demand for both coins. But now the undervalued value of the coins of the new sample is associated with a gigantic circulation, which is 10 million for each copy, with a late release into circulation. Rare and valuable varieties have not yet been noticed, and one piece can be sold for a maximum of 50 rubles.

On the part of the state, such a numerous circulation of commemorative coins may seem illogical. This is a significant waste of materials. On the other hand, such consumption leads to a reduction in the production of other coins, due to which rare coins of a different type appear. But the reason for the mass minting of ten is not clear.

Most likely, neither banks nor other financial structures states will not enrich themselves through the mass issuance of commemorative 10 rubles. Sberbank will not pay more for them. In the list of coins that can be handed over to the bank, having received 1000 rubles, there is simply no money of this type. They can be exchanged for equivalent banknotes, but nothing more. Until that time, neither Sberbank nor any other similar institution announced any shares for the purchase of anniversary copies. Therefore, at the moment, collectors remain the main consumer category.

Series of commemorative coins 10 rubles

The vast majority of coins came out as part of series. There are also single instances, which we will consider a little later. If you "dive" into the study of commemorative ten-ruble notes, the boundless field of the unexplored is immediately revealed. For example, it is unlikely that anyone other than numismatists knows the exact number of series of coins. There are only 4 of them. Due to 110 varieties of instances of this type, it seems that there are many more of them.

The issue of commemorative 10 rubles dates back to 2002 (although single commemorative coins of a similar denomination have been issued since 2000). Prior to this, collectible coins were issued for quite a long time, but they were not available to the entire population of the Russian Federation, since they were made of precious materials. And only since 2000, 10-ruble commemorative coins from popular materials came into circulation.

By this time, only one series, dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the formation of ministries in Russia, has been completed. The remaining collections are replenished every year with new copies. Three of them are made of bimetal, one is made of steel, according to a new model.

The design of the obverse is the same for all serial coins. Even modern examples are minted with a typical obverse. Only the reverse is different.

"Russian Federation"

What can Russian commemorative coins of 10 rubles demonstrate first of all? Regions and cities of a mighty power. The "first swallow" from the cupronickel-brass bimetal "flew out" from the St. Petersburg Mint (SPMD) on December 27, 2005.

The first coin is dedicated to senior region- Leningradskaya, it was formed in 1927. On the same day, the Tver region was also minted, but the year of its birth is 1935. The same issue date is typical for the Oryol region, Krasnodar Territory, the Republic of Tatarstan (founded in 1920) and Moscow. Immediately 6 coins came out.

In 2006, 5 anniversary copies were put into circulation. The event took place on August 1st. Collections of collectors were replenished with coins "Primorsky Krai", "Sakhalin Region", "Republic of Sakha", "Republic of Altai" and "Chita Region". Although the "Chita Region" will now cause nostalgia, because it is dedicated to an area that no longer exists. It just so happened that the coin was minted in 2006, and in 2008, on March 1, the region was united by the Aginsky Buryat Autonomous Okrug. Now this territory is called the Trans-Baikal Territory. In theory, such a coin should be made in the future, but at the moment nothing is known about this.

On April 2, 2007, 3 more coins were issued: “Rostov Region”, “Republic of Bashkortostan”, “Novosibirsk Region”, and on July 2 another 3 coins were issued: “Republic of Khakassia”, “Lipetsk Region”, “Arkhangelsk Region”.

It is worth noting that until 2007, inclusive, each mint was engaged in the issuance of one coin. Since 2008, one coin has been issued under MMD and under SPMD.

In 2008, 4 more species from the series came into circulation: "Udmurt Republic", "Astrakhan Region", "Sverdlovsk Region", "Kabardino-Balkarian Republic".

Pay attention to the reverse of the "Sverdlovsk region". If you know, the coat of arms of the Sverdlovsk region should have an imperial crown. But on the reverse of the coin of the same name, the princely crown is minted. Imagine - the 10 millionth edition was printed with an error!

2009 was marked by the release of coins "Republic of Kalmykia", "Jewish Autonomous Region", "Republic of Adygea", "Republic of Komi" and " Kirov region". The coins entered the national currency on different dates.

The most expensive stamps in the world

2010 is generous with rare coins of 10 rubles, because the circulation of coins minted this year was stingy. "Perm Territory", "Nenets Autonomous Okrug", "Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug" and "Chechen Republic" were published in circulations that did not reach a million. Accordingly, this is 200 thousand, 1.95 million, 100 thousand, 100 thousand. Have you ever heard about the abbreviation CHAP in numismatics? It combines three names of the rarest coins.

In 2011, the "Republic of Buryatia" (also one of the rarest: a circulation of 9.3 million) and "Voronezh Region" were issued. In 2012, the minting of commemorative coins of 10 rubles was suspended. 2013 is also not very rich - 2 coins: "Republic of Dagestan" and "Republic of North Ossetia-Alania".

An interesting fact is connected with "North Ossetia-Alania", which, as you know, was produced by SPMD. Before her, a 25-ruble coin dedicated to the Sochi Olympics was minted at the court (it was planned to issue an identical coin with a denomination of 10 rubles), but they forgot to change the lead ring. As a result, part of the circulation of "North Ossetia" came out with a edge of 180 notches, and the rest with 300 notches, like the exemplary 10-ruble commemorative coins. So a coin costs a maximum of 150 rubles in the “uncirculated” condition, but for an unusual edge they will give 800-1000 rubles.

In 2014, the minting of the "Russian Federation" resumed its pace, and the last 5 coins were issued at the moment. This is the "Penza region", " Saratov region”, “Tyumen region”, “Republic of Ingushetia”, “Chelyabinsk region”.

In conclusion, I would like to say that there are only 39 coins, and as many as 85 subjects of the Russian Federation!

Therefore, we will expect at least 46 coins from the Central Bank. But no forecasts can be made, because the continuation of the series is not planned for 2015, the release of new coins is not expected.

Sale of coins from the series at a price of 40-60 rubles. Rare and valuable specimens have not yet been discovered.

"Ancient cities of Russia"

The series originated before the "Russian Federation", in the second half of 2002. A bimetallic coin with a face value of 10 rubles is a kind of “postcard” with the most famous panorama of a particular city on the reverse. A look at the minted cityscape gives an idea of salient features life in that city.

Name locality can be seen on the reverse below. Above it is a minted image of the main city landmark or landscape on the silvery central part of the coin. On the brass ring is the name of the series and the city. The obverse, as already mentioned, is the same for all coins. The diameter and weight of the coin remain unchanged - 27 mm and 8.4 g, respectively. The circulation of each type is 10 million.

So, on June 27, 2002, the first three coins from the Ancient Cities series were issued: Derbent, Kostroma, Staraya Russa. In 2003, 4 more coins appeared: Pskov, Murom, Dorogobuzh, Kasimov. In 2004, the world saw coins with the cities of Dmitrov, Ryazhsk, Kem. "Kaliningrad", "Mtsensk", "Ryazan", "Borovsk" entered circulation in 2005.

In 2006, 10-ruble coins "Belgorod", "Kargopol", "Torzhok" were made. In 2007, three coins were issued again: "Vologda", "Gdov", "Great Ustyug". In 2008, numismatists were pleased with "Vladimir", "Priozersk", "Azov", "Smolensk". In 2009, Vyborg, Kaluga, Galich and Veliky Novgorod were released. In 2010-2011, two coins were issued with the names "Bryansk" and "Yurievsk", "Yelets" and "Solikamsk", respectively.

In 2012 and 2014, one coin was issued each: Belozersk and Nerekhta. In 2013, the issue of commemorative coins was temporarily discontinued.

The series is of great interest not only for numismatists. Every citizen is interested in knowing about the cities that were or are located on the territory of his country. Although there are no expensive items in the series, it demonstrates the beauty and grandeur of the ancient cities of Russia - this is its main value.

"Cities of Military Glory"

The series showcases and celebrates cities that are officially awarded the title of the same name after battles. On the reverses of the coins of this series, the coats of arms of the cities that survived fighting under the heroic protection of its inhabitants. This is not just a popular title. In such a city, a stele is erected with the city coat of arms and a presidential decree on conferring the status.

Since the series was launched in 2011, the coins are not made of bimetal, as you remember, but of steel with a brass coating, which gives the commemorative coin a delicate golden sheen. Other characteristics have also changed: the diameter has decreased to 22 mm, weight - up to 5 g. The coin is quite small and inconspicuous, no different from regular minted coins with the same denomination. But the Central Bank considered this option acceptable. We will also have to come to terms with the updated look of our favorite bimetallic tens.

They have been produced recently, but at an intensive pace? Who knows all the coins of 10 rubles of the "City of Military Glory"? The list will remind you of numerous Russian hero cities. Here are the names of the cities that are displayed on the commemorative coins:

• 2011, May-November: Belgorod, Orel, Kursk, Malgobek, Vladikavkaz, Yelets, Yelnya, Rzhev;
• 2012: Luga, Voronezh, Polyarny, Rostov-on-Don, Velikie Luki, Tuapse, Veliky Novgorod, Dmitrov;
• 2013: Kronstadt, Vyazma, Naro-Fominsk, Pskov, Volokolamsk, Bryansk, Arkhangelsk, Kozelsk;
• 2014: Stary Oskol, Nalchik, Vyborg, Vladivostok, Tver, Anapa, Kolpino, Tikhvin.
• 2015: Kovrov, Lomonosov, Taganrog, Kalach-on-Don, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Khabarovsk, Mozhaisk, Maloyaroslavets.

Based on the list, 8 coins were issued with the names and emblems of the Cities of Military Glory from April to November of each year.

"200th anniversary of the formation of ministries in Russia"

In 2002, the 200th anniversary of the founding of ministries in Russia came. Indeed, on September 8, 1802, the Emperor Russian Empire Alexander I founded the first ministries in the history of Russia, whose powers he enshrined in the Manifesto. As early as the beginning of the 19th century, the Ministry of War appeared. ground forces, maritime forces, justice, public education, internal affairs, finance and commerce. The list of their modern successors looks different, but it has undergone minor changes. For two centuries!

The commemorative coins of the "Ministry" with a face value of 10 rubles are coins made of non-precious materials of regular circulation, like other similar specimens. The obverse is typical for all coins of this type, and on the reverse you can see the coat of arms of the ministry to which the coin is dedicated. Each copy was minted in 5 million copies, and this was quite enough for everyone to replenish their collection without compromising the budget. In other words, coins are not in demand on the numismatic market.

Coins of modern Russia are valuable not only for ordinary people but also for numismatists. main feature of these coins is that a rare coin can fall into the hands of any of us in the course of commodity-money relations.

The cost of coins of modern Russia most often coincides with their face value. However, there are also rare specimens that, for one reason or another, were minted in a small circulation or turned out to be defective, for example, the mint is not indicated on them, the pattern on the obverse and reverse is the same, etc. Such specimens will occupy an important place in the collection of any numismatist.

In addition to regular minted coins, the Central Bank of Russia annually issues commemorative steel and bimetal coins dedicated to important historical events and famous personalities. Usually the cost of commemorative coins is slightly higher than their face value. But even here there are exceptions: small runs or defects in production.

Let's consider what valuable coins of modern Russia exist, and how to learn to distinguish them from coins of face value. The article will focus on coins made from non-precious metals.

Coins 1992 - 1993

The first coins after the collapse of the USSR were issued by the Moscow and Leningrad mints. The denomination of new coins began with 1 ruble and ended with 100 rubles. The hammer and sickle on the reverse was replaced by a double-headed eagle. Copper-nickel alloy, brass-plated steel and bronze were used for chasing.

In 1992, 3 bimetal commemorative coins of 10 rubles each, belonging to the Red Book series, were also issued. However, today they are of little value.

In 1993, when issuing coins, new alloys began to be used, for example, nickel silver-plated steel. Updated 10, 20, 50 and 100 rubles appeared in circulation.

Most Valuable coins of modern Russia for 1992-1993:

• 50 rub. 1993 LMD - up to 60 thousand rubles.

Coins 1997 - 1999

In 1997, a monetary reform took place, as a result of which a devaluation was carried out. This year, coins with a face value of 10 rubles or more disappeared from circulation. Coins from 1997 are still valid means of payment.

5 rubles 1999 MMD is one of the most valuable coins of modern Russia today. However, it is still unknown whether such a circulation actually existed. Only a single copy is known, the current value of which is 250 thousand rubles.

During this period of time, the first commemorative coin of modern Russia after the devaluation appeared: 1 ruble of 1999 in honor of the 200th anniversary of the birth of A. S. Pushkin. Everyone immediately began to put it off, so its current value does not exceed 100 rubles.

Valuable modern coins 1997 - 1999:

• 1 rub. 1997 MMD with a wide edging - 4 thousand rubles;
• 1 rub. 1998 MMD - up to 4 thousand rubles;

• 2 rub. 1999 MMD - up to 1.5 thousand rubles;
• 5 rub. 1999 MMD - up to 250 thousand rubles.

Coins 2000 - 2003

Most of all various rare coins were minted in 2001 and 2003. For example, 1 and 2 rubles of 2001 MMD, which look like coins of 1997. However, finding such copies is not at all easy, since in these years the circulation was often small or trial, which is why they are very much appreciated by numismatists. Also rare are five-kopeck coins of 2002 and 2003 with a defect: they do not have a mint.

In 2002, for the first time after the devaluation, the first 10-ruble coin appeared in circulation in honor of the victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Commemorative coins of 2000-2003 have no special value, the maximum market price will be 50 rubles per copy. The only valuable commemorative coin for this period of time is 2 rubles of 2001 with Gagarin without specifying the mint: it can be sold for up to 4 thousand rubles.

Among valuable coins of modern Russia for 2000 - 2003 can be distinguished:

Coins 2004-2009

In 2004-2009, few truly valuable coins were minted. The alloys used changed, as well as the denominations of the issued coins. For example, since 2004, a five-ruble coin has ceased to be minted. Its release was fully resumed only by 2008.

In 2006, in the production of ten- and fifty-kopeck coins, instead of brass, they began to use steel clad with tombac. This made it possible to reduce the cost of their coinage.

Since 2009, after an almost 20-year break, coins with a face value of 10 rubles have again been put into circulation. Also, some coins began to be issued simultaneously from different alloys, so among the identical coins of 2009 you can find magnetic and non-magnetic specimens.

During this period of time, several series of commemorative ten-ruble coins were issued, dedicated to important historical events and our country. In 2005, a series of bimetal "60 years of the Great Victory" was released. In 2005-2009, the series "Ancient Cities of Russia" and "Russian Federation" were produced. The cost of coins of them, as a rule, does not exceed 150 rubles per copy.

Prices for coins of modern Russia for 2004 - 2009:

• 10 kop. 2004 M - up to 3 thousand rubles;
• 5 kop. 2005 JV - up to 10 thousand rubles;
• 1 rub. 2005 SPMD - up to 3 thousand rubles;
• 2 rub. 2006 SPMD - up to 4 thousand rubles;

Coins 2010 - 2015

In 2010-2015, several rare coins of regular minting were put into circulation. In addition, a large number of commemorative coins were issued both within the series and in the form of individual copies.
