3 Rubles Russia 1995 Battle commemoratives

I normally collect crown size coins , and accidentally bought one of these coins (gold coloured) thinking it was crown size .

However , I have to admit they look a nice series to collect . Bought mine from eBay knock down price (hope it’s not a forgery) every other one 5 times prices .

Does anyone have any info about these coins and any to swap ..I am sure I can’t afford to buy them .

Photographs and dimensions would be good here.
Did a quick search, but nothing with gold colour turned up. Could it be from another country, hence, my first comment.

Perhaps it’s real gold ..it’s 33mm

The design and lettering on your "gold" coin does look a lot thicker than on the original one, so likely either a chinese knock-off or one that was (very) heavily plated. In either case, doesn't look good

Would explain why it was so cheap

There were 12 pictures of the coin on eBay , looking at them closely now again there seem to be two different coins (perhaps the original and the copy) puzzling . On the Numista website there is no mention of gold plated one only cupro nickel .

i only paid a few quid for it ...probably worth it for this dialogue alone on its authenticity

3 rubles 1995 Meeting on the Elbe (American and Soviet soldiers). Metal: copper-Nickel alloy, gold coating on top-this is a patina. Only in proof. They were simply not produced in any other metal. Initially, they came out in plastic seals. At a price in the region (about) of 35 British pounds. They should look like in the photo. Polished field, a matte image. You would have pulled out of the capsule and photographed the herd.

....And this is what a Chinese souvenir for 1.5 pounds looks like, do you see the difference? You need to see the edge of the coin and a good photo...
