A nice collectible, Jim. And Well done! to the lads for winning the Gold Medal. I was flummoxed by the word 'Rus', at first, but after a bit of scrutiny I'm now inclined to believe that it's an abbreviation of Rus in urbe - another 'flummoxer'. Perhaps you can confirm its meaning. Thanks.

RUS Is short for Rustic brick

Thanks Jim. I've also noticed Rus in urbe; An illusion of countryside created by a building or garden within a city. Take care of your collectible.
