| Additional information |
Part of the "Cities of Military Glory" series issued for the 55th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, this coin commemorates the Battle of Stalingrad — the single most lethal engagement in recorded military history, with combined casualties estimated between 1.7 and 2 million. The series of six coins was released simultaneously in 2000, all sharing the same bimetallic-look nickel brass construction despite the visual suggestion of a two-tone finish.
Stalingrad itself was renamed Volgograd in 1961 during Khrushchev's de-Stalinization campaign, a political erasure that makes the name on this coin a deliberate historical reference rather than a current toponym.
