| Obverse description | At the centre of the field, the face value is rendered in two lines as '2 РУБЛЯ', with the issuer inscription 'БАНК РОССИИ' (Bank of Russia) positioned below. The date '2000' appears beneath the issuer legend, while stylised plant sprigs flank the central design to the left and right. The mint mark 'СПМД', denoting the Saint Petersburg Mint, is incorporated within the design. The overall layout is clean and geometric, consistent with the standard obverse design used across the Russian commemorative circulation series of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene commemorating the Siege of Leningrad during the Second World War. Two lorries are shown traversing the frozen surface of Lake Ladoga along the legendary 'Road of Life', with a column of water and ice fragments erupting from a nearby shell-burst. To the left, the Gold Star Medal — emblem of the Hero of the Soviet Union — is prominently displayed, while a road sign appears to the right of the vehicles. In the background, the silhouette of the Admiralty spire evokes the city of Leningrad, and the inscription 'ЛЕНИНГРАД' curves along the lower rim. |
