OFFICIAL 1980 OLYMPIC COIN ISSUE, 90% PURE SILVER, Commemorates the FIRST Olympic Games ever held in the Soviet Union now Russia. These are the FIRST SILVER ROUBLE COINS MINTED IN HALF A CENTURY. Each coin is a work of art, a finely detailed sculpturing of an important Olympic event and rich source of historical interest. Each coin is in it's own styrene crystal case, displayed in velvet like trays in a collectors case. Only an extremely limited number of these coins were minted. Many of these coins were melted and most never reached the numismatic market, because of the high value of silver, ($50 per ounce) in 1980.

Set was originally issued at $300.00. 28 Coins total. 14 - 5 Roubles (Weight = .5359 Troy oz., Silver Content = .4823 Troy oz.) and 14 - 10 Roubles (Weight = 1.071 Troy oz., Silver Content = .9645 Troy oz.)
