This ruble or rouble is from St. Petersburg Mint and it has the mint mark in monogram style, apparently there is a lettered version. In this 1997-2001 series only the 2001 coin is rare the rest are considered common although the exact mintage is unknown.
As Russia faces serious economic problems as a result of its bullying problem the rouble is now less than two cents in U.S. dollar value. I am not sure if they even use these coins anymore but it would probably not buy much.
Here are that stats...
Type / Country: 1 Ruble / Russia
Year: 1998-
СПМД (St. Petersburg Mint)
Mintage: Unknown
Metal: Copper-Nickel-Zinc
Value: $0.25 in Extra-Fine
Do you have a coin from
Russia and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will
do my best to find out the price and history for you.
I don't believe there's any other type of mintmark for the new ruble. It's only the monogram types (and the two mintmarks are pretty similar to each other, though you did guess correctly).
ReplyDeleteThe 2001 coin is so ludicrously rare that it's hard to count anything but it as "the key" (I believe the mintage is 15,000), but the 1999 issues are also relatively uncommon (though still common enough to perhaps have no added value). The 1997 and 1998 dates are both very common, obviously.

Not only do they still use the ruble coin, but they use kopek (1/100th of a ruble) coins as well--i regularly got 0,50 and 0,10 ruble coins on my last trip to Russia, and in supermarkets coins as small as 0,05 rubles (on one occasion, 0.01)
