| Obverse description | Central field features the double-headed eagle emblem of the Bank of Russia, displayed with wings spread and rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The denomination ДВЕСТИ РУБЛЕЙ (Two Hundred Roubles) arcs along the upper border, while the legend БАНК РОССИИ (Bank of Russia) curves along the lower border, both separated from the central device by a beaded inner circle. The date 2014 Г. appears in the lower field, flanked by the fineness mark АU 999 to the left and the weight indicator 31,1 to the right. The Saint Petersburg Mint monogram (СПМД) is visible within the inner legend area. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized decorative composition divided between a deeply recessed mirror-polished black field on the left and a richly textured golden field on the right, separated by the sinuous silhouette of a blossoming tree branch. At center, a large scallop-edged medallion bearing a circular disc in satin finish evokes a stylized chrysanthemum or mon emblem. The right half of the field is covered with an elaborate brocade-like pattern of snowflake and petal motifs rendered in frosted relief, referencing traditional Japanese textile art. To the left of the central device, the two Japanese kanji characters 柔道 appear in bold relief against the polished field. The Cyrillic transliteration ДЗЮДО (Judo) is inscribed in the lower left portion of the field. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a series of collector gold issues produced by the Bank of Russia in the years following the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, though judo — the subject here — is a Summer Olympic discipline with deep significance in Russian sporting culture, largely owing to Vladimir Putin's well-documented competitive background in the sport. The coin's existence owes more to institutional prestige than Olympic scheduling.
Struck at the Moscow Mint to .999 fineness, these issues rarely entered circulation and were sold primarily through authorized dealers and the Bank of Russia's own retail channels at significant premiums over melt.
