The 1924 silver ruble is considered one of the most beautiful large coins of the Soviet period. Its design is a prime example of the visual propaganda of that time: the obverse depicts a worker pointing out the rising sun over a factory to a peasant. This scene symbolizes the bright future of the young Soviet state.

The story began with an unusual incident: a man came to a buy-up shop wanting to sell a 1924 Soviet poltinnik. The coin was in mediocre condition, yet its owner asked a whopping 150,000 rubles for it.
