| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed depiction of the Nikolskaya Church of Kozelsk rendered in the centre field, conveying the architectural character of this historic Russian town. The municipal coat of arms of Kozelsk is positioned at the upper left of the central disc. The outer brass-plated ring carries two encircling inscriptions: 'ДРЕВНИЕ ГОРОДА РОССИИ' (Ancient Towns of Russia) along the upper arc and 'КОЗЕЛЬСК' (Kozelsk) along the lower arc, both separated by decorative elements at the junctions, consistent with the long-running Ancient Towns of Russia commemorative series. |

| Additional information |
Kozelsk is one of twelve cities designated "City of Military Glory" in the 2020 bimetallic series, a program the Bank of Russia has run since 2011 to honor localities awarded that presidential title. Kozelsk earned its designation partly for the extraordinary resistance its population mounted against the Mongol forces of Batu Khan in 1238 — a seven-week siege that delayed the western advance and reportedly enraged the khan enough to order the city razed and its inhabitants massacred. Medieval sources called it "the evil city."
