What do we pay for a platinum 150 roubles Soviet Union?
Based on the platinum rate of this moment, €49.33 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine platinum | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150 roubles | 15.552 g | 15.57 g | €736.46 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure platinum it contains.
This coin is 999‰ pure, so the fine weight and the total weight are almost the same.
Eleven different coins between 1977 and 1991, all the same size: five for the Moscow Olympics and six on historical subjects.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

Olympic platinum from Leningrad
For the Moscow Olympics the Soviet Union struck five platinum 150-rouble coins from 1977: the Olympic emblem, the discus thrower, wrestlers, a quadriga and runners. They were the first Soviet coins in proof. Between 1988 and 1991 six more followed on Russian history, such as the Battle of Poltava and Russian America.
Half an ounce of platinum per coin
All eleven coins are the same size: 15.57 grams of 999 platinum, so half a troy ounce of fine platinum. That is what we pay on, against the platinum rate of the moment.
These are collector’s coins, often still in their original case. We always pay the platinum value. Whether a piece is worth more because of its subject or condition is assessed by the valuer at the table.

Questions about selling platinum 150 roubles Soviet Union
How much platinum is in a Soviet 150-rouble coin?
Half a troy ounce, about 15.55 grams of platinum. The coin weighs 15.57 grams at 999 fine, so practically the whole weight is platinum.
Why does it say 150 roubles when the coin is worth far more?
The face value was a formality. These coins were never meant for spending; their value lies in the platinum and, for some pieces, in collectors’ interest.
Do these coins have collector’s value?
Some do, especially in proof with case and certificate. We always pay at least the platinum value. Collector’s value is assessed by the valuer at the table; we promise no premium in advance.
Do you also buy the Russian platinum coins from after 1991?
Yes. The platinum coins of the Russian Federation from the 1990s, including the Russian Ballet series, are welcome too. They have a page of their own.
