| Obverse description | The obverse features the double-headed eagle after the design of artist I. Bilibin, displayed in the central field. A circular legend along the upper rim reads «ОДИН РУБЛЬ 1997 г.» (ONE ROUBLE 1997), while the lower rim bears the inscription «БАНК РОССИИ» (BANK OF RUSSIA). Below the eagle, hallmark notations indicate the metal designation, fineness (Ag 925), fine metal content (7.78 g), and the mint trademark (ММД). The design is executed in a distinctly stylised neo-Russian artistic manner characteristic of Bilibin's heraldic work. |
