| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a Kamchatka indigenous figure standing on a shoreline, rendered in detailed relief, holding a leister (fish spear) and a bow, with a quiver of arrows at his side and a fish in hand, evoking the hunting and fishing traditions of the region's native peoples. To either side of the figure, the expedition dates '1725' and '1730' are inscribed on a decorative ribbon. To the right, a period sailing vessel is shown in the middle field, set against the outlined silhouette of mountainous terrain, alluding to Bering's maritime voyage. The encircling rim legend reads '1ая КАМЧАТСКАЯ ЭКСПЕДИЦИЯ' (The 1st Kamchatka Expedition), commemorating the historical expedition led by Vitus Bering under the orders of Peter the Great. The composition reflects an academic engraving style consistent with Russian commemorative coinage of the early 2000s. |

| Additional information |
Part of Russia's long-running wildlife series, this piece was issued under the broader "Red Book of Russia" program, which the Bank of Russia launched in 1993 to draw attention to endangered species through collector coinage. The series ran for over two decades and encompassed dozens of animals native to Russian territory, with individual issues tied loosely to conservation advocacy rather than any single legislative event.
Mintages for these gold wildlife issues were typically kept in the low hundreds — well under 1,000 pieces — making secondary-market appearances infrequent.
