Soviet Union 1988 Transferable Ruble International Bank For Economic Cooperation

It commemorates the convertible ruble, a monetary unit that was used to conduct international trade transactions between the members of COMECON. This monetary unit was supposedly back up by about .94 grams of gold, although it could not be redeemed for gold. The unit existed only on bank ledgers, and did not have any material form as coins or banknotes. In the late 1980s, Gorbachev cancelled the use of the convertible ruble, leaving holders of the currency high and dry. The bank still exists, however, although its capital is in euros and its membership has declined because of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, with the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania and Slovakia quitting in order to prevent the bank from being used by Russia to obviate international sanctions against the Russian Federation. This leaves Russian, Vietnam and Mongolia as the remaining members. The token was minted on the same blanks used for other commemorative rubles of the USSR.

In this "former proof" grade it costs around $10-15. The mintage is more than 10 000 according to the other source, where do you take an information about 250?

Thanks

I don't have any official sourse, also some forums.
But taking into account the amount of such tokens available on the market I doubt that 250 is real figure.

BTW, CollectPrime is just a site that has stolen the Numista database, so this is not credible sourse:)

Numista is wiki-style resource, so there is no big difference between it and some forum. Anyone could add mintage there
I couldn't find any credible information regarding mintage of this token online, but 250 is unrealistic... I also doubt that someone would fake it.

It seems that these tokens were distributed in 3 ways: in boxes, in capsules and in plastic bags, so, there is a possibility that 250 is about mintage of box variant only...
