These coins were mentioned in the book Inside the Aquarium, written by the Soviet defector "Victor Suvorov"! He recounted that in 1967 when some of his fellow officers heard about the upcoming set one responded by laughing, adding that they should buy these coins "because after the Revolution they will be very valuable!". His fellow officers in the tent also laughed their heads off - fifteen years earlier under Stalin they would have been sent to the gulag for uttering such a thing.
