| Reverse description | The reverse presents a naturalistic relief depiction of two common spadefoot (rush) toads — Bufo calamita — rendered in fine detail against a plain field, capturing the texture of their warty skin and characteristic postures. The species name «КАМЫШОВАЯ ЖАБА» (The Rush Toad) is inscribed in Cyrillic along the upper rim, serving as the primary legend. The composition is centrally balanced, with both amphibians occupying the majority of the coin's field. The design reflects the series devoted to the protection of rare and endangered species of the Russian fauna. |

| Additional information |
Part of Russia's long-running "Red Book" wildlife series, this rouble was issued under the federal program mandated to publicize species listed in Russia's official endangered species register. The Raddei's toad — *Bufo raddei*, known in Russian collecting circles as the rush toad — inhabits wetland margins across Transbaikalia and the Russian Far East, a range that put it squarely within the political interest of post-Soviet conservation legislation. The series began in the 1990s and has produced hundreds of types; secondary market premiums are driven almost entirely by species popularity rather than mintage differentials.
