Surprisingly, it may not be THAT rare - the US did a medal design in collobration with the USSR back in 1988. (and when relations aren't really the best) Mintage of a mere 10,000. Who knows if there are more interesting designs years down the road.
Description: The peace and Co-operation Commemorative 5oz Ag, the first in the Series, represents the breakthrough of USSR-US relations after more than forty years of cold war tensions. Struck at the Leningrad Mint, the first prototype was presented at the White House by Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, to U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz, on September 17th, 1987. Two artists, Tim A. Haskin of US, and Alexander Polodkin of USSR worked on this medal.
