Russia Were First
The first platinum coins were issued in Russia in 1828, being 3 rouble pieces, followed by 5 roubles in 1829, 12 roubles in 1830. All these platinum issues continued until 1845, although the many of the 3 rouble dates are known to have been restruck later, presumably officially.
After this, no other platinum coins were issued by any country until the 1970's.
Russia (USSR) resumed the issue of platinum coins from 1977 to 1961, with a number of 150 rouble coins containing about a half ounce of platinum.
The Moscow Olympics series, issued from 1977 to 1980 inclusive, has five designs, each issued in uncirculated and proof versions, and forms an interesting, affordable and attractive mini collection.
The independent state of Russia has issued platinum coins from 1992, in denominations of 25 roubles containing a tenth ounce of platinum, 50 and 150 roubles containing a half ounce.
