This 1 rouble silver coin dated 1921 belongs to the monetary reform of the early 1920s. It was struck for the RSFSR and entered circulation in 1924 alongside Soviet Union coins. Unlike the smaller 10–20 kopeck pieces, this denomination uses .900 silver. The edge inscription and initials matter when identifying a specimen; this basic entry does not catalogue every die variety.
