| Reverse description | The reverse presents a colorized scene from the Soviet animated film 'Father Frost and Summer' (Дед Мороз и Лето, 1969), depicting the character of Father Frost — a large, bearded figure in a red robe — bending down to interact with two small children dressed in traditional peasant attire, set against a stylized woodland background rendered in full color. The children carry baskets and a ball, evoking the summer setting of the cartoon narrative. The inscription ДЕД МОРОЗ И ЛЕТО arcs along the upper border in raised Cyrillic lettering. The colorization is applied within a milled coin field, giving the design a vivid illustrative quality consistent with the Russian animated art style of the period. |

| Additional information |
Father Frost — Russia's analog to Father Christmas, rooted in Slavic folklore rather than Western tradition — became an officially sanctioned Soviet figure in the 1930s when Stalin rehabilitated New Year's celebrations after a period of suppressing them as bourgeois. This 2019 issue belongs to the Bank of Russia's long-running colored commemorative series targeting the collector and gift market, where mintages run high and secondary-market premiums stay thin.
