An inscription in two lines, divided by a horizontal rule, reads «ВСЕВОЛОД БОБРОВ» (VSEVOLOD BOBROV), accompanied beneath by a facsimile of the sportsman's signature in cursive script. In the lower portion of the field, an ice hockey puck is depicted, completing the sporting iconography of this commemorative issue. |

| Additional information |
Bobrov was a Soviet ice hockey player — a forward for CSKA Moscow and the national team through the late 1940s and 1950s — but he is equally remembered as a footballer who played for CSKA and Spartak Moscow simultaneously in the postwar years, a competitive anomaly that caused a genuine institutional dispute between the two clubs over his registration. The 2009 issue is part of Russia's long-running "Outstanding Personalities" series, which by that year had produced well over a hundred individual silver commemoratives.
