| Additional information |
Mordovia is a real federal subject of Russia, but it issues no currency of its own — making this a privately produced fantasy token with no governmental authority behind it. The "Red Book" conceit likely borrows from Russia's federal Red Data Book, the official endangered species registry, which has been used as a thematic hook for numerous souvenir and novelty coin programs targeting the collector novelty market in the 2010s.
