New 10-ruble coin honors Chuvash Republic
The Bank of Russia will issue a new 10-ruble commemorative coin dedicated to the Chuvash Republic on June 5, 2026. The coin is legal tender and features the republic's coat of arms.
Intricate design and security features
The obverse of the coin prominently displays the face value '10 RUBLES' at its center, with the figure '0' incorporating a sophisticated security element.
This element, visible from various viewing angles to the coin surface, reveals the figures '10' and the abbreviation 'RUB', ensuring authenticity and deterring counterfeiting.
Encircling the central disc, the outer ring features the inscription 'BANK OF RUSSIA' at the top and the year '2026' at the bottom, flanked by intricate laurel and oak twigs.
These botanical motifs extend gracefully onto the central disc, adding to the coin's aesthetic appeal and symbolic depth.
The Moscow Mint trademark is discreetly placed at the bottom of the disc, signifying its origin and quality.
The coin's combined structure, comprising a disc and an outer ring, along with a relief rim around its circumference, contributes to its distinctive tactile and visual characteristics.
Its corrugated edge further enhances its security and distinctiveness, bearing recurring inscriptions of 'TEN RUBLES' separated by asterisks.
Tribute to Chuvash heritage
The reverse side of the commemorative coin proudly showcases a detailed relief image of the coat of arms of the Chuvash Republic, serving as a direct tribute to the region's heritage and identity.
This central emblem is framed by inscriptions around the circumference, clearly stating 'RUSSIAN FEDERATION' at the top and 'CHUVASH REPUBLIC' at the bottom, with these phrases thoughtfully divided by points.
With a substantial mintage of 1.0 million pieces, the coin is designed for wide circulation and collection, ensuring its accessibility to the public.
Crucially, this new coin holds the status of legal tender throughout the Russian Federation, meaning it is legally mandated for acceptance in all types of payments without any restrictions at its stated face value.
This ensures its practical utility alongside its commemorative significance, integrating it fully into the nation's monetary system.
