| Additional information |
Mordovia is a real federal subject of Russia, but it has never issued its own currency — making this piece a private fantasy issue with no governmental authority behind it. These "regional rouble" fantasy coins circulated briefly as novelty collectibles in the early 2010s, produced by private mints exploiting collector appetite for regional Russian identity items. No central bank sanction, no legal tender status anywhere.
