The last series of pre-reform coins made of base metals was the set for the 300th anniversary of the Russian Navy, issued on October 18, 1996 with a circulation of 100 thousand pieces, which is half the size of the “50th Anniversary of the Victory” sets.

List of coins “300 years of the Russian Navy”:
| A modern fishing trawler is a real floating factory, which is used not only for fishing, but also for its processing and preservation. The ships have refrigerators and production workshops; work can go on around the clock for several days. Such a system allows you to go far out to sea, the voyage lasts for several weeks without entering a port. | |
| The bark "Comrade" was released in Germany in 1933, originally bearing the name "Gorch Fock". In 1945, during the hostilities, the ship was scuttled, and two years later it was raised and given to the USSR as reparations. In 1951, after repairs, the sailing ship left Leningrad, circled Europe and moored in Odessa. In the 70s he sailed to the shores of the USA, participated in several regattas, and in 1980 visited South America. After the collapse of the USSR, he was assigned to Ukraine, for many years repairs were attempted, but there was not enough funding. In 2003 it was transported to Germany and the original name was returned. Now the ship is in the museum of the city of Stralsund. | |
| Modern cargo ships come in several types: container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, bulk carriers, ro-ro carriers, lighter carriers and refrigerators. Container ships are generally the largest of them, with a length reaching 400 meters and a capacity of more than 100 thousand tons. The world's largest container ship can accommodate 11 thousand 20-ton containers. But the record for length (488 meters) belongs to a gas production vessel built in 2013; it is capable of transporting 600 thousand tons of cargo. | |
| The ship "Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin" was launched in 1971 and was used to control spacecraft through ground-based communication points. It was the largest ship of its type in the world. It had a length of 231 meters, a width of 31 meters, and a displacement of 45 thousand tons. The ship was assigned to the port of Odessa and after the collapse of the USSR came into the possession of Ukraine. In 1996, it was sold for scrap for $7.6 million. | |
| Submarine cruisers are the largest underwater vessels capable of long-term autonomous navigation. Their crew may include 100 or more sailors working in shifts. The largest are the Soviet Akula-class submarines, capable of carrying ballistic missiles. The length of the largest vessel is 172 meters, built in 1981, and is in service with the Russian Federation. | |
| The icebreaker "Arktika" was launched in 1972 in the USSR and was used until 2008. It was the first ship in the world to reach the North Pole and the second nuclear icebreaker. From 1982 to 1986 he bore the name “Leonid Brezhnev”. Now the ship is in the port of Murmansk awaiting disposal. |

Replica of the ship "Goto Predestination" 1698 in Voronezh
At the time of release of the set, the denomination of the coins was very low purchasing power(there were bills from 100 to 100 thousand rubles in circulation), so the set was intended exclusively for collectors and was not put into circulation. The coins have an improved UNC design (no scratches from bagged storage). Currently, the cost of such a set among collectors starts from 16 thousand rubles, and in ideal condition it can reach 25-30 thousand. It is problematic to find individual coins for sale. The market is flooded with numerous copies and fakes.
*Reference:
The history of the permanent Russian navy begins in 1688, when young Peter I, not yet a tsar, discovered a Dutch boat - a small sailing boat - in the vicinity of Moscow. It formed the basis of the “Amusing Flotilla” created by Peter to study the basics of navigation. In 1696, the first real warships built at the shipyard in Voronezh won a victory near Azov, after which the tsar's decree followed on the creation of its own regular fleet in Russia. In 1712, the first major naval victory was won at Gangut, and then several more victories that significantly influenced the outcome of the Northern War.

After the conquest of the Azov fortress, the boyar duma discussed Peter's report on this campaign and decided to begin the construction of the navy on October 20, 1696. This date is considered the official birthday of the Russian Navy, whose ships were built at the shipyards of the Voronezh Admiralty.
P.S. This concludes my messages about commemorative and anniversary coins of “Young Russia”. I need to take a little break and in the fall I’ll start talking about memorable and commemorative coins modern Russia, which began to be minted in 1999.

The Bank of Russia regularly issues gift sets, commemorative editions in honor of various significant events of the country.
In 1996, the world saw a whole selection of 6 coins and one token; the set came from the factory in its original packaging. 300 years of the Russian Navy - this memorable event served as the basis for the release of the booklet.
A set of coins dedicated to the regular naval forces of the country in our time is quite an expensive pleasure for relatively fresh, non-precious medallions; below you will learn more about the coins from the booklet and the reason for the significant increase in the cost of the set.
Token of Peter 1
We will start not with a coin, but with a coin-shaped token, which bears on one side the profile of Peter 1 and the inscription “founder of the mint”, and on the other - a drawing of SPMD.
The fact is that it was SPMD who was involved in the reproduction of booklets, which added Peter’s token to the collection, however, in addition to founding the mint in St. Petersburg, Peter 1 is also known for insisting on his idea and creating the first in history Russian Empire regular fleet.
Thus, the token received a double meaning, and was directly related to the selection presented in the booklet.
