| Obverse description | At the centre, the two-headed eagle emblem of the Bank of Russia, with wings lowered, enclosed within a beaded circle. The upper legend reads 'ДВАДЦАТЬ ПЯТЬ РУБЛЕЙ' (Twenty Five Roubles) and the lower legend bears the year of issue '2003', both running along the outer rim. To the left of the eagle, the metal designation and fineness 'Au 999' are inscribed; to the right, the fine metal content '3,11' and the Saint Petersburg Mint mark 'СПМД' appear. The semicircular inscription 'БАНК РОССИИ' (Bank of Russia) curves beneath the central device. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Bank of Russia's ongoing zodiac series, this piece was issued under the broader commemorative program the CBR formalized in the early 1990s as Russia rebuilt its institutional identity following Soviet dissolution. The zodiac gold issues in this denomination were struck in relatively modest quantities — collectible from inception, with negligible circulation exposure.
