| Reverse description | The reverse displays a relief rendering of the official coat of arms of Vladivostok as its central device, presented within a circular field. The upper circumferential legend reads «ГОРОДА ВОИНСКОЙ СЛАВЫ» (TOWNS OF MARTIAL GLORY), denoting the city's status as a City of Military Glory, while the lower legend «ВЛАДИВОСТОК» (VLADIVOSTOK) identifies the subject. The design is part of the ongoing Bank of Russia series honouring Cities of Military Glory of the Russian Federation. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the ongoing "Cities of Military Glory" series, Vladivostok received this designation by presidential decree in 2010, recognizing its defense during the Russian Civil War and its strategic role in the Pacific theater during the Second World War. The city's status as a closed military zone — inaccessible to foreigners until 1992 — gave it an outsized symbolic weight that the honor arguably reflects more than its conventional wartime record.
Brass-plated steel bimetal issues from this series are notoriously prone to delamination with heavy circulation, a production characteristic that makes uncirculated survivors meaningfully more stable long-term.
