Then it was described by two famous and competent numismatists Yuri Kulvelis and Alexander Stashkin and included in the catalogs. After that, no one doubted the authenticity of the rarity.
But how did this coin come about, and why almost 15 years after its release it was not known? The answer, according to numismatists, can be one - someone from the mint workers handed out a trial copy of the coin.
