USSR 1980 Olympic Coin

[Scott]

New to the coin world and have a lot of questions. Recently, while going through some coins that I was given, I found a USSR 1 Rouble coin commemorating the 1980 Olympics. It's in a hard plastic case. Feedback is appreciated.

It is one of a series of I believe 6 issued to commemorate the 1980 Olympics.
There were about 4 1/2 million of each produced and are made of cupronickel.
There was also a silver set produced that came in a presentation box.
Yours with the case is probably worth $8-9.00.

Yes, I have the silver set to go with my other Olympic sets for the last30-40 years.
