[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 3079291, member: 39"]What I find interesting is that this eagle (no crown, no imperial insignia) was and still is the logo of the central bank (CBR). So in the years when the coins merely said "БАНК РОССИИ", as in this case, it made sense to use that logo. Nowadays the 1 ruble and higher denomination coins refer to both the CBR and the Russian Federation (РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ), and thus the eagle is that of the country, not the bank so to say. (Now why countries that are not monarchies insist on having a crown as part of the coat of arms, I don't know. :) In Romania this was done just two years ago.
