Comments

1. The first coinage was with model of lithium atoms. Photos of the coin were published in Soviet central newspapers , for example in "Izvestia' in November 1st 1977. The image was such:

Soviet Censures then removed all such roubles, because they recognized main Zionist symbol - Davis's Star in the crossing of lithium atom orbits.
So, they decided to re-design coin and change lithium to beryllium atom. Some copies found their way to collections.

2. There are two types of beryllium atom on 1 Rouble coins: with long central (horizontal) orbit (common), and with short central (horizontal) orbit (scarce).
