| Beschrijving voorzijde | At centre, the double-headed eagle of the Bank of Russia, displayed with wings spread and no crowns, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The denomination 100 РУБЛЕЙ and date 1997г. arc along the upper periphery in Cyrillic, flanked by a beaded inner border. Below the eagle, the legend БАНК РОССИИ curves along the lower periphery, also in Cyrillic. Fineness and weight specifications Ag 900 and 1кг appear in small Latin and Cyrillic characters at either side of the eagle's base. The mint mark ММД is incorporated within the design, and small square lozenge marks appear at the left and right sides of the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a detailed high-relief rendering of the famous monument to Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, the celebrated bronze sculpture by Ivan Martos originally erected in Moscow's Red Square in 1818. Minin stands to the left, his right arm raised and outstretched in exhortation, while Pozharsky is seated to the right holding a shield, both figures upon their inscribed pedestal. Behind and around the monument, an panoramic skyline of Moscow's most iconic architectural landmarks is rendered in lower relief, including the distinctive onion domes of Saint Basil's Cathedral at centre and the towers of the Kremlin to the right. The curved legend 850-ЛЕТИЕ ОСНОВАНИЯ МОСКВЫ arcs boldly across the upper field in a stylised Old Slavonic-inspired Cyrillic script, commemorating the 850th anniversary of the founding of Moscow. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Minin and Pozharsky led the Second People's Militia that expelled Polish-Lithuanian forces from Moscow in 1612, ending the Time of Troubles — a decade of dynastic collapse, foreign occupation, and famine that had brought Muscovite Russia to the edge of dissolution. The monument itself, sculpted by Ivan Martos, was originally intended for Nizhny Novgorod, where Minin raised his militia, but was redirected to Moscow and unveiled in Red Square in 1818 in the aftermath of Napoleon's defeat, when Russian national sentiment was running high.
This 1997 issue belongs to Russia's ambitious large-format commemorative silver program of the 1990s. At a kilogram of .900 silver, pieces of this type were struck in small quantities and rarely left display cases.
