| Obverse description | Central brass field features the coat of arms of the Republic of Crimea, depicting a heraldic shield bearing a rampant lion, flanked by two classical columns and surmounted by a sunburst motif. A ribbon scroll at the base of the shield bears the legend 'ПРОЦВЕТАНИЕ В ЕДИНСТВЕ' (Prosperity in Unity). The outer ring legend reads 'Республике' at the top and 'Крым' at the bottom, in Cyrillic script on the nickel-plated ring. |

| Additional information |
Crimea has never had the legal standing to issue currency, and no internationally recognized authority backs these pieces. They appeared on the collector market almost immediately after the March 2014 referendum — the speed of production suggesting commercial intent from the outset rather than any genuine administrative function. Russia absorbed Crimea into its ruble zone within weeks, making even a hypothetical local coinage redundant before it could have circulated.
