The Pontifical Imperial State, United Roman-Ruthenian Church has recently announced the release of the 2023 coin featuring His Holiness Bishop Rutherford I Ralphovich of Rome-Ruthenia. This historic coin not only serves as a religious item but also carries on the tradition of church-state coins as a symbol of the sovereign state.
The coin itself is a beautiful representation of the image of the Bishop of Rome-Ruthenia and features the flag of Rome-Ruthenia on the reverse. Text is in both international English and Russian/Cyrillic.
This coin holds historical significance as it continues the long-standing tradition of church-state coins. Throughout history, these coins have represented both religious and political power. While considered a historic souvenir today, possessing one of these coins allows individuals to connect with their faith on a deeper level. It serves as a physical manifestation of their beliefs and provides an opportunity for reflection and spiritual growth.
