This exceptional 1 Kopeck coin from the Russian Federation, minted in 1998, represents a significant piece of modern Russian numismatic history. Crafted from copper-nickel alloy and weighing just 1.50 grams with a diameter of 15.50mm, this coin features the iconic imagery of Saint George the Warrior mounted on horseback, triumphantly vanquishing a serpent with his spear—a symbol deeply rooted in Russian cultural and religious heritage dating back centuries.

The obverse showcases this legendary saint with accompanying inscriptions, while the reverse displays the denomination alongside elegant floral ornamentation. Graded in UNC (Uncirculated/New) condition, this coin exhibits pristine quality with no signs of wear or circulation, making it highly desirable for serious collectors. The 1 Kopeck denomination from this era holds particular appeal as lower denominations are often overlooked yet increasingly sought after by numismatists building comprehensive collections of post-Soviet coinage. This piece perfectly captures the transitional period of Russian monetary reform in the 1990s and serves as both a tangible investment and a window into contemporary Russian artistry and symbolism.
