| Obverse description | Central field displays the coloured coat of arms of Ekaterinburg, featuring a shield with a green enamel background depicting a factory and a river with wavy lines, supported by two rearing bears as heraldic supporters, surmounted by a mural crown with wheat sheaves. The founding date 1723 appears prominently in the lower field beneath the shield. A circular Cyrillic legend reading ДЕМИДОВСКАЯ МОНЕТА НА СЧАСТЬЕ (Demidov Lucky Coin) runs along the upper periphery, with ЕКАТЕРИНБУРГ and the mint initials ЕМД ИПВ completing the legend around the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
No "13 kopeck" denomination has ever been issued by any Russian federal or regional monetary authority, and Sverdlovsk — the oblast centered on Yekaterinburg — holds no mandate to issue circulating coinage under the Russian Federation's monetary framework. This piece is almost certainly a privately produced fantasy or commemorative token, a category that proliferated in Russia during the 2000s and 2010s as regional and municipal novelty issues exploiting the visual grammar of official coinage.
