All coins of the city of military glory series. World of coins - a complete list of GVS coins

In 2011, the Central Bank began issuing a thematic series of coins "Cities of Military Glory". The minting of banknotes in denominations of 10 rubles is carried out only in honor of cities with the high status of "City of Military Glory". This title is awarded by presidential decree for mass heroism, fortitude and courage shown by the townspeople in 1941-1945. The text of the relevant Decree is placed on a specially installed stele, on which there is also an image of the coat of arms of the heroic city. On the days of celebrations, fireworks thunder over the central squares of such cities.

From year to year, the series has increased by several commemorative banknotes, each of which is minted in 10 million copies. The name of the coin corresponds to the name of the city in honor of which it was issued (“Eagle”, “Stary Oskol”, “Kolpino”, etc.). As a rule, they are made according to the sequence of awarding the title.

In the material below you will find a list of all issues of the series, their main characteristics, as well as information about how much they cost on the numismatic market.

Characteristics

Banknotes are made of steel and covered with the thinnest layer of brass. Steel discs with a diameter of 22 mm weigh 5.63 grams.

Obverse

A single design has been developed for the front side of all issues of the series. The center of the disc is occupied by the denomination: in the first line - the number "10" with hidden signs inside the number "0" (if you change the angle of the disc, you can see the denomination in turn); in the second - the inscription "RUBLE". The remaining design elements are arranged in a circle: at the top - the words "BANK OF RUSSIA", at the bottom - the year of issue, on the left - an olive branch, on the right - an oak branch and a mint mark.

Reverse

In the center is a coat of arms - a heraldic sign depicting objects symbolizing a particular city. Along the piping in the upper part of the disk there is a ribbon on which the words “CITY OF MILITARY GLORY” are minted, in the lower part there is the name of the city itself (“VLADIKAVKAZ”, “VORONEZH”, “DMITROV”, etc.).

The edge of coins is decorated with alternating sections - 12 smooth and the same number of corrugated ones.

It is quite possible that over time, new names will appear in the list of cities with a high title, and, as a result, the number of issues will increase.

The cost of dozens from the series "Cities of military glory"

The price for one coin with the coat of arms of the city of military glory in excellent condition (UNC) or close to it is approximately 3-5 times higher than the face value. Currently, you can buy such a coin for 30-50 rubles. Despite the fact that enterprises minted commemorative coins from steel in a fairly decent circulation, those who want to collect a complete collection experience difficulties in acquiring them. While still legal tender, they are rarely available for change. It is possible that after a short period of time, prices for such samples will increase significantly. Therefore, it is worth hurrying with the acquisition of coins, because they can not only be stored in your collection, but also profitably sold over time.

Every year the number of people collecting jubilee dozens is growing. Those who are fond of collecting from the first issue can easily understand commemorative series, mints, and also know which of them are the rarest and most expensive. For those who started collecting them relatively recently, it is difficult. After all, for last years More than a hundred different coins with a face value of 10 rubles were issued. Some of them were devoted to round dates, other dozens were issued as part of commemorative series. In the article we will talk about the classification of these banknotes, as well as their numismatic value.

10 rubles: bimetallic and steel

On the territory of Russia, two types of commemorative dozens are in circulation:

List (catalog) of bimetallic coins

Below is a complete list (catalogue) with a breakdown by series, indicating the year of issue and the mint. In the list, the abbreviation SPMD - means the St. Petersburg Mint, and MMD - the Moscow Mint. The trademark can be found on the obverse, at the bottom of the cupronickel disk.

Series "Ancient cities of Russia"

The first ten of the cycle "Ancient cities of Russia" was issued in 2002. From 2002 to 2016 inclusive, the Bank of Russia issued 37 issues dedicated to the ancient cities of our country.

Series "Russian Federation"

The coins of the "Russian Federation" cycle are dedicated to the regions of our country. The reverse shows the coats of arms of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. To date, this is the largest series. From 2005 to 2016 inclusive, the Bank of Russia issued 42 banknotes as part of it.

In 2017, we should expect the release of new dozens: "Ulyanovsk Region", "Tambov Region". And in 2018, it is planned to produce a jubilee dedicated to the Kurgan region.

Series "Ministries"

The cycle "Ministries", consisting of only 7 issues, was released in 2002. The series is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the formation of ministries in Russia.

Non-serial releases

Several bimetallic 10 ruble coins were issued outside the framework of large commemorative series, their release was associated with upcoming significant events for our country, such as the 2010 All-Russian population census, or round dates.

List (catalog) of steel chervonets

Since 2010, the Bank of Russia has begun issuing new commemorative chervonets. They were smaller, minted from steel and covered with brass, which gave the coins a characteristic yellow color.

Series "Cities of Military Glory"

The series "Cities of Military Glory" was launched in 2011. To date, 48 coins have been issued as part of this cycle. But the list of cities that have received this honorary title is updated annually, so it's too early to talk about the end of the cycle.

Non-serial releases

Coins of 10 rubles from steel are issued not only within the above-mentioned series, but also on anniversaries. The table shows all such releases:

In 2018, we should expect two issues that will be dedicated to the XXIX World Winter Universiade in Krasnoyarsk.

Cost (approximate prices)

Prices for commemorative coins of 10 rubles are growing year by year. It would seem that banknotes, issued in quantities of 5-10 million copies, could well satisfy the demand of all collectors in the country. But numismatists are interested in buying only well-preserved copies, the number of which decreases over time, since a significant amount of money suffers from careless handling and improper storage. The prices of issues of the last decade, which are almost impossible to find in circulation today, rose especially strongly.

The cost of bimetallic coins

Below are indicative prices. They are relevant for copies in the UNC state of preservation, that is, which were not in circulation. Their real value may differ greatly from that indicated, which will depend on the method and place of sale, the degree of preservation and other factors. Nevertheless, these figures can serve as a guide for the initial assessment.

• The cost of "55 Years of Victory", issued in 2000, depends on the hallmark of the mint. Copies with the MMD badge are valued at 60 rubles, with the SPMD stamp - about 100 rubles.
• The price of 10 rubles "Gagarin" in 2001 also depends on the mint mark: MMD - 70 rubles, SPMD - 120 rubles.
• Coins of 2002 are valued at 120 rubles.
• The cost of copies of the series "Ancient cities of Russia", minted in the period from 2001 to 2009, ranges from 150 to 200 rubles.
• Issues of the series "Russian Federation" 2005-2008. can be sold at a price of 30 to 50 rubles.
• Copies of "60 Years of Victory" in 2005, issued in a circulation of 60 million pieces, are sold at a price of up to 50 rubles.
• Dozens of "Ancient Cities" 2010-2016 are sold on average up to 100 rubles. for a coin.
• Regions of 2010: "Nenets Autonomous Okrug" - 300 rubles, "Perm Territory" - 3 thousand rubles, "Chechen Republic" - 8 thousand rubles, "Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug" - more than 10 thousand rubles.
• The cost of "Population Census" in 2010 is 300 rubles.
• Chervonets with coats of arms of subjects of the Russian Federation 2011-2016 are estimated at an average of 30-50 rubles.
• The price of 10 ruble coins of 2015, dedicated to the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, usually does not exceed 30 rubles.

As you can see from the list, there are three editions that are distinguished by a very high price. They were issued in 2010 and belong to the commemorative series "Russian Federation". For reasons that are not voiced, the circulation of these coins turned out to be very small, which affected their value:

The price of steel chervonets

Steel commemorative gold coins with brass coating are not expensive. The price of coins of this type rarely exceeds 30 rubles. The exception is the ten of 2010 "65 Years of Victory", which can be sold for 100 rubles.

What does the cost depend on?

There are a number of factors that significantly affect the value of commemorative coins. Novice numismatists need to remember them in order to correctly assess.

1. Degree of preservation. Copies even with minor abrasions will be priced several times lower than coins that have retained their original appearance. Here we must remember that in no case do not try to make the banknote shiny on your own. In most cases, this will result in an even greater cost reduction. For cleaning, you should use only specialized tools, but it is better to entrust this process to the master.

2. Rare variety. Within the same release, instances may be found that have slightly perceptible differences. There are numismatists who classify such differences. They are interested in identifying all existing varieties. Some species are common, others less common. The cost of rare can reach impressive numbers. For example, 10 ruble coin 2000 "55 Years of Victory" (also called "Politruk") with the stamp of SPMD has several varieties, one of which is estimated at more than a thousand rubles.

The photo shows how to identify a valuable variety:

3. Coin with marriage. In the coin business, as in any other production, marriage happens. Defective coins receive a defect that makes them unique. There are various types of monetary marriage. Such types of marriage as turn, not struck, stamp scratch are common and are usually not highly valued by collectors. More expensive are products with a split stamp and a bite, especially if they are pronounced. Among bimetallic chervonets there are also specific defects. For example, scrap in the form of an insert offset or a double punch.

In the photo below, a coin with an offset insert, sold in 2016 at an auction for 10 thousand rubles:

Where is it profitable to sell anniversary chervonets?

As mentioned above, coins with a high degree safety. Rare varieties or defective money can also be traded profitably. For the rest of the chervonets, especially those that were withdrawn from circulation, it is not so easy to find a buyer. Nevertheless, if desired, such instances can be implemented.

You can sell them in the following places:

• in numismatist clubs that exist in all major cities,
• in numismatic stores,
• on the Internet (forums, auctions, social networks, and so on).

It must be understood that the final cost will depend on the conditions of sale. Usually, the highest price can be offered at numismatic auctions on the Internet. If the coin is put up for a well-known auction, then several collectors can compete for possession of it at the same time, which will undoubtedly lead to a high final value of the lot. If you want to sell a coin quickly, then you should contact dealers who will take on the job of finding a collector who is ready to purchase it. You should not expect that such a dealer will offer a very high price for it.

At the end of 2006, Vladimir Putin signed a presidential decree approving the regulation "On the conditions and procedure for conferring the honorary title of city of military glory." The title itself is awarded, as stated in the regulatory document: "for courage, steadfastness and mass heroism shown by the defenders of the city in the struggle for the freedom and independence of the motherland."

For the first time such a title was awarded to the cities of Kursk, Orel and Belgorod back in May 2007. The title for the city involves the installation of a stele with a memorial plate with the text of the decree on assignment and the holding of festive events and fireworks on such holidays as Victory Day, Defender of the Fatherland Day and City Day. True, we are a little unclear how celebrations should be celebrated, for example, on May 9 in a city that is not a city of military glory, .. without volleys and without a parade?

This honorary title is, first of all, recognition of the courage and self-sacrifice of the defenders and residents of the settlement and the importance of their contribution to the Great Victory over Nazi Germany.

In total, at the moment, the title has been awarded to forty-five cities. The last five (Staraya Russa, Grozny, Gatchina, Petrozavodsk and Feodosia) were awarded the award quite recently, in April 2015. In the foreseeable future, most likely, the list of glorious cities will be replenished with new names, because it cannot be said that during the Great Patriotic War there were settlements, whose inhabitants did not show heroism or stamina, trying to stop the fascist invaders, standing, practically, on the threshold of their homes.

On the net, we came across an amusing discussion of why, for example, the city of Voronezh did not receive such an honorary title. And this is connected, it turns out, here's what. Most likely, one of the main reasons was that in the bloody battles for Voronezh, the second Hungarian army was defeated and destroyed, more than a hundred thousand Hungarian military personnel who fought on the side of Hitler died, and later in the post-war period, Hungary was part of the group of countries of the Warsaw Pact and was either our unwitting ally, or a buffer zone of the social. camps for the USSR. Probably, it was precisely for political and ideological reasons that these facts were hushed up, and the heroic past of Voronezh has not yet been assessed at the official level.

Since 2011, the Central Bank began minting a new series of coins dedicated to the cities of military glory with a face value of 10 rubles. The coins were made of steel, plated with brass plating, with a diameter of 22 millimeters. The emblems of cities are depicted on the reverses, the denomination and the year of minting are on the obverses. By the spring of 2015, 32 different dozens had already been released, with a circulation of 10 million pieces each. Since the issue volume is quite large, the cost of coins today is small, the first coins of the 2011 series are valued a little more expensive. The most expensive ten today is Yelets, estimated at 100 rubles for a brand new copy without circulation. Fresh coins of the GVS series can be caught in everyday life, but the quality of such an anniversary, as a rule, leaves much to be desired, the coins quickly darken and become covered with ugly corrosion spots.

Until 2006, the title of Hero City in our country belonged to 9 cities. The last time the title was awarded was in 1985.

In December 2006, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, some settlements were given the status of "City of Military Glory".

It is believed that especially fierce battles took place next to them or in them, while the population of the cities themselves showed their best military qualities.

In the cities, a memorial stele was erected and military holidays are celebrated especially magnificently.

Year of issue and sequence of coins in the series

It was decided to mint commemorative coins from the “Cities of Military Glory” series in the same order in which cities were awarded this title by decrees. The sequence was respected, although there are exceptions to this rule. Initially, the release of the series was supposed to take 4 years, but every year more cities received the title, so the release dragged on for at least 10 years.

By law, commemorative coins from the series went to the city that was marked on them. Therefore, in order to purchase them, you need to either go to the desired city and rely on chance that you will get exactly the necessary coin for change, or purchase on the Internet.

Specifications

Technical characteristics of the coins of the series "Cities of Military Glory"

The issue of commemorative coins with a face value of 10 rubles from the Cities of Military Glory series began in 2011. Coins are minted only at the mint of St. Petersburg. They were made of steel, which is electroplated with brass.

The diameter of each serial coin is 2.2 cm, the thickness is 2.2 mm, the weight of each coin is 2.63 g. That is, they are much smaller compared to bimetallic commemorative rubles. The edge has 12 sections with notches of 5 and 7 reefs, these sections alternate with smooth parts.

Every 10 rubles from the series are issued with a circulation of 10 million copies.

In the manufacture of commemorative coins, sketches by the artist A.A. Cheese. In a number of cases, the sculptor was A.N. Bessonov, but most of them are computer generated.

The face value is depicted in the center of the obverse: the number "10" and just below its "Rubles". The zero in the number ten is made with internal notches so that if you look at a certain angle to the surface, you can see “10” and the inscription “Rub” on the notches. Around the edge are the inscription "Bank of Russia", the date of issue of the coin, a branch of olive and oak.

On the reverse of all coins, only the upper part is the same, where a ribbon is located in a circle, on which is written: "Cities of military glory." In the middle of the reverse there is a coat of arms, at the bottom - the name of the city, to which 10 rubles are dedicated.

Coin value

To date, the title of "City of Military Glory" has been awarded to 45 cities, and 10-ruble commemorative coins have been issued for each city. Maybe in the future the number of cities with this title will increase, but for now, collectors can collect a complete set. The price of each coin is not high, approximately 50-100 rubles, since they are in circulation and their number is quite large, but their value is still higher than the face value, because it is quite difficult to get them for change. It is also worth knowing that only coins that have retained their good appearance are suitable for collecting, the rest are of no value to numismatists.

Perhaps in the future, their price will rise significantly. A collection that contains all the coins of the series has a particularly high chance of increasing in value. However, the price may fall, as the coins in circulation for most numismatists are not of particular value, and among non-professional collectors, the wave of excitement will decline. You can find the current prices in the table.
