Silver 3-ruble coin features Mirozhsky Monastery in Pskov
The Bank of Russia will issue a 3-ruble silver commemorative coin dedicated to the Holy Transfiguration Mirozhsky Monastery in Pskov on October 7, 2026. The proof-quality coin has a limited mintage of 3,000 pieces.
Proof finish and 3,000 mintage
The 3-ruble coin belongs to the Architectural Monuments of Russia series under catalogue number 5111-0541. Minted in proof quality at the Saint Petersburg Mint, it contains 31.1 grams of fine silver with a 925/1,000 fineness and measures 39.0 millimeters in diameter.
The obverse displays the National Coat of Arms of the Russian Federation alongside technical hallmarks, denomination, and the 2026 year of issue.
The reverse depicts the monastery complex set against laser-treated matte trees and water reflections, framed by ornamental inscriptions.
The issue is limited to 3,000 pieces and constitutes official legal tender at face value across the Russian Federation.
Twelfth-century sanctuary preserved in metal
The Holy Transfiguration Mirozhsky Monastery in Pskov ranks among the oldest surviving religious complexes in Russia.
Its primary architectural landmark, the Transfiguration Cathedral, preserves world-renowned monumental frescoes dating to the twelfth century.
Through the long-running Architectural Monuments of Russia series, the central bank commemorates national cultural heritage, capturing historical stone structures and religious art on precious-metal collector coinage.
Numismatic ritual without market impact
Numismatic releases of this kind represent routine cultural branding rather than policy shifts.
The tight mintage of 3,000 pieces appeals solely to specialized collectors, making its legal tender status purely formal.
For market observers, the announcement holds no macroeconomic or financial significance.
