| Obverse description | Central field features the Russian state emblem, a double-headed eagle displayed with wings spread, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The eagle is depicted without a shield on its breast, consistent with the Bank of Russia's standard institutional device. The denomination legend ДВЕСТИ РУБЛЕЙ arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded inner circle, while the issuer name БАНК РОССИИ is inscribed along the lower inner arc. Below the eagle along the bottom of the field, the date 2009 г. is flanked by the fineness designation Au 999 to the left and the weight 31.1 to the right, all separated by raised dots; the engraver's mark appears at lower right within the beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Issued in 2009 to mark the bicentennial of Gogol's birth, this coin belongs to a broader Russian commemorative program that has long used precious-metal issues to rehabilitate and celebrate figures whose Soviet-era reputations were complicated. Gogol himself died in 1852 in circumstances that remain disputed — severe self-starvation following a spiritual crisis under the influence of a fanatical priest, or illness, depending on which account one credits.
Mintage on these Bank of Russia gold commemoratives is typically set at 1,500 pieces.
