China-Soviet Republic Coins
The monetary history of China and the Soviet Union in the 20th century is marked by significant changes and historical events that influenced their monetary systems. Both countries experienced revolutions that transformed their economies and, consequently, their currencies.
China
In China, the communist revolution of 1949 led to the creation of the renminbi (RMB) as the official currency. Initially, the government issued the people's yuan, which replaced the various regional currencies. During the Mao era, coins and banknotes frequently featured images of workers, peasants and soldiers, reflecting communist ideology. In 1955, a new RMB series was introduced, and in 1980, China began issuing commemorative coins for collectors, marking a milestone in its modern numismatics.
Soviet Union
The Soviet Union, following the 1917 revolution, introduced the Soviet ruble. During the Stalinist era, coins and banknotes often featured communist symbols such as the hammer and sickle. An important milestone was the 1961 currency reform, which introduced new designs and denominations. Soviet numismatics was characterized by commemorative series celebrating achievements of the regime, such as the conquest of space. With the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, the Soviet ruble was replaced by the coins of the newly independent republics, marking the end of an era in monetary history.
