RUSSIAN FEDERATION: AV 100 roubles, 1992, Y-375, The 360th Anniversary of Yakutia's Voluntary Entering into Russia, relief depiction of a Wooly Mammoth against the background of the contour map of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), framed by radiating lines looking like rays, PCGS graded PF70 DC, ex Jerry D. Williams Collection.

The Yakuts' forefathers populated their land within the X-XVI centuries. The Russian settlement of Yakutsk was founded in 1632 as an fortress by Pyotr Beketov and the territory of Yakutia entered into the Russian state. Today, this is the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the constituent territory of the Russian Federation. Paying tribute to their past, the Yakuts regard the mammoth, an extinct mammal of the elephant family, as a symbol of their severe land. Mammoths provided the ancient man with material for shelter, clothing, food, utensils and works of art (skin, bone and wool), which helped him to survive on the harsh permafrost environment. Finest graded at both PCGS and NGC.
