| Additional information |
Part of the Bank of Russia's long-running animated characters series, this issue commemorates Gena the Crocodile from the beloved 1966 Soviet animated film *Cheburashka*, directed by Roman Kachanov at Soyuzmultfilm studio. The colored variant — applied by pad printing after striking — was issued alongside an uncolored version, with both sharing the same catalog type but distinguished by the Y#1945.1 suffix.
Soyuzmultfilm's characters have become one of the Bank of Russia's most commercially reliable commemorative themes, with secondary market premiums on colored variants consistently outpacing face value by a wide margin.
