The mintage limit for each of these coins is 24,000 pieces. Apart from that, a commemorative 25 ruble coin made from non-precious metals.

The four silver coins will feature landmarks from the four cities that are going to host the World Cup Matches like the ‘Motherland Calls’ monument in Volgograd, the Nizhegorodskaya Kremlin in Nizhny Novgorod, the ‘Soyuz’ rocket carrier in Samara, and the memorial monuments in Rostov-on-Don.

The reverse depicts a footballer with a ball, folk decorations, and famous landmarks from Russian cities. The reverse of each 25-ruble non-precious metal coin that will be released for regular circulation features a FIFA World Cup trophy. A coloured trophy will be shown on the reverse of special circulation coins.
