A highly interesting and unusual Cold War-period numismatic document, consisting of a mailing from the Bank for Foreign Trade of the USSR to a private individual in the United States, accompanied by a letter dated 5 October 1972. Of particular significance is the statement of the reported mintage for the annual Soviet coin set of improved quality - 10,000 pieces - together with a list of other available annual sets and commemorative issues offered in U.S. dollars.
This piece is valuable not only as supporting numismatic documentation, but also as direct evidence of the Soviet Union’s official coin-export activity and its presentation to collectors in the American market. The combination of stated mintage, period retail pricing in U.S. currency, and original institutional correspondence gives it clear documentary, historical, and numismatic importance. An evocative and scarce survival from the era, reflecting the intersection of collecting, state trade, and Soviet-Western commercial exchange during the Cold War.
