A new eagle for the Russian Ruble.
Beginning in 2016, Russia made one of the most noticeable changes to its everyday coinage since the chaotic post-Soviet years.
The simple, uncrowned Bank of Russia eagle used on earlier Ruble coins disappeared.
In its place came the full State Coat of Arms of the Russian Federation: a crowned double-headed eagle holding the sceptre and orb, with Saint George and the dragon on its central shield.
Interestingly, the coins themselves didn't need to become larger or heavier.
The Bank of Russia retained the existing dimensions and physical specifications and simply introduced the new state-emblem obverse. Earlier designs remained legal tender alongside them.
Collector's detail: The old eagle wasn't actually the Russian state coat of arms. It was the emblem of the Bank of Russia, originally introduced on coins in 1992 when the new Russian Federation had not yet adopted its state symbols.
That makes a 1992 coin and a 2016+ coin a nice little before-and-after pair.
These are original Russian circulation coins.
Most examples are in very good to near-new circulated condition, although small scratches and handling marks may be present.
The 10 Ruble coins generally show more circulation wear.
Exact year and mint mark may vary.
