Russia is the world’s largest country and as such offers a diverse array of wildlife. One such animal is the Blakiston’s Fish Owl, a bird which inhabits riparian forests, preferably in close proximity to rivers or lakes. It has been commemorated through the release of this silver coin.
Coin Design Highlights
Minted in 1993, just after the fall of the Soviet Union, this coin is part of the Russia Red Book series. It contains a ½ oz of silver with a purity of .900 percent. While the coin’s silver content is lower than many of its foreign counterparts, it makes up for this through greater durability and extremely high craftsmanship. The coin’s face features the Blakiston’s fish owl, and accurately captures its image. For bird enthusiasts who also happen to be looking for hard to find Russian coins you won’t go wrong with this product.
