| Obverse description | The obverse features the Russian Federation's double-headed eagle emblem in high relief at center, displayed with wings spread and heads facing outward, set against a mirror-polished proof field. The denomination legend ОДИН РУБЛЬ (One Rouble) arcs across the upper portion of the coin along the inner border, while БАНК РОССИИ (Bank of Russia) is inscribed in two lines across the lower field beneath the eagle. The date 2002 Г. appears along the lower rim, flanked by the fineness designation Аг 925 to the left and the weight 7,78 to the right, with the Moscow Mint monogram (ММД) positioned at lower right. A fine beaded border encircles the central design, separating it from the raised outer rim. |

| Additional information |
This rouble belongs to a long-running Bank of Russia series marking the 200th anniversary of the Russian ministerial system, established by Alexander I in September 1802. The reform replaced the collegiate boards inherited from Peter the Great with eight individual ministries answering directly to the Tsar — a structural shift that defined Russian bureaucratic governance until 1917. The Ministry of Finance, one of the original eight, absorbed responsibilities previously scattered across multiple collegiate bodies.
