FEDERAL STATE UNITARY ENTERPRISE “GOZNAK”
traces its history since 1818, when under the Decree by Emperor Alexander I the Expedition of Storing State Papers was created in Saint-Petersburg. The Expedition combined the whole production process of banknotes and other state papers: starting with special sheet formation and up to paper money printing.
Today “Goznak” incorporates eight branches, including two mints – in Saint-Petersburg and in Moscow.
The Saint-Petersburg Mint was founded in 1724 under the Decree of Emperor Peter the Great. Since then and up till now the Saint-Petersburg Mint has been located in the very center of Saint-Petersburg, within the territory of Peter and Paul Fortress.
The Moscow Mint was opened in 1942.
Nowadays the Saint-Petersburg and Moscow Mints carry out the order of the Bank of Russia for striking change, commemorative and investment coins; they produce state awards and distinction marks, issue commemorative medals, various souvenirs, marks of assay, as well as jewellery and gold watches.
Commemorative coins of precious metals produced at the Mints of Goznak are noted for their special artistic expressiveness and adherence to the classic style of the medallier art. Many coins won various prizes at international competitions. For instance, in 2007 the 25 ruble silver commemorative coin with a gold insert “The 150th Anniversary of Foundation of the State Tretyakov Gallery” was chosen “The Coin of the Year” at the 1st International Competition “Coin Constellation -2007”.
The Russian Mints are ready to fulfill orders of any level of complexity with the traditional quality of Goznak and strictly observing the time limits given by the customer. They produce both million-circulation and “single-piece” products in the full meaning of the word. Thus, in 2006 the Moscow Mint of Goznak struck an exact copy of “Usman’s Koran” – 164 pages of pure gold.
The Saint-Petersburg and Moscow Mints apply the most cutting-edge technologies in their work: binding of natural and artificial jewels to products of “proof” quality, tampon printing on relief surface, organic enamel application to products of “proof” quality, gold-plating of products of “proof” quality, usage of rotating inserts, manufacture of products in the shape of puzzles an so on.
