| Reverse description | The copper-nickel centre features the coat of arms of Voronezh Oblast rendered in fine relief: a heraldic shield supported by two eagles with spread wings, surmounted by an imperial crown, and depicting a golden vessel with an emerging arm holding a jug, symbolising the region's historical associations with the Russian navy. The brass outer ring carries the legend 'РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ' along the upper arc and 'ВОРОНЕЖСКАЯ ОБЛАСТЬ' along the lower arc, each separated by raised dot stops. |

| Additional information |
Part of the vast "Regions of the Russian Federation" series launched in 2000, this issue commemorates Voronezh Oblast, an administrative region in the Central Black Earth economic zone whose capital city was almost entirely destroyed during some of the fiercest urban fighting on the Eastern Front — Soviet and German forces traded control of Voronezh repeatedly between July 1942 and January 1943. The Bank of Russia produced hundreds of distinct bimetallic pieces in this format across two decades, making completionist collecting a serious undertaking.
