Part of the Bank of Russia's ongoing "Cities of Labour Glory" series, Ivanovo received this designation in 2021 under a federal law first enacted in 2020 — a program honoring Soviet-era industrial cities whose wartime production contributions were historically overshadowed by front-line military honors. Ivanovo's claim rests on its textile industry, which supplied a significant portion of Red Army fabric and uniform output during the Second World War.
Brass-plated steel bi-metallic circulation issues from this series are notoriously prone to delamination with heavy use.
