Russian Ballerina Palladium Bullion Coin
From 1989 to 1995, Russia produced
their Ballerina Palladium bullion coin
series at the Moscow Mint. The .999
fine coin shown here contains 1 troy
ounce (31.1035 grams) of palladium and
is legal tender with a face value of
25 Roubles. Russia also produced a 10
Roubles version
Over half of the world's annual supply
of palladium comes from Russia. The
amount and status of Russian palladium
supplies are state secrets. In the past,
Russia has routinely withheld supplies
of palladium from world markets for
its own political and/or economic gain,
resulting in very large and very fast
fluctuations in palladium prices.
