| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold bust-length effigy of Tsar Peter I (Peter the Great) is depicted in three-quarter view, rendered in armor with a fur-trimmed mantle draped over his left shoulder and a commander's baton held in his right hand. In the background to the left, the distinctive silhouette of the Peter and Paul Fortress in Saint Petersburg is visible, while a sailing warship appears in the right field, referencing Peter's foundational role in building the Russian navy. The curved legend 500-ЛЕТИЕ ЕДИНОГО РУССКОГО ГОСУДАРСТВА (500th Anniversary of the United Russian State) arcs along the upper periphery. The inscription ПЕТР I - ПРЕОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬ (Peter I - The Reformer) is inscribed in the lower field beneath the portrait. The composition is executed in a high-relief sculptural style with deeply frosted surfaces against polished proof fields. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This coin is one of four palladium issues the Soviet State Bank released between 1988 and 1991, all tied to the country's attempt to monetize its substantial domestic palladium reserves — the USSR held, and Russia still holds, the largest known palladium deposits in the world, primarily in the Norilsk region. The series was partly a hard-currency play aimed at Western collectors during the glasnost period, when the Kremlin was actively looking for convertible-currency income.
The timing is pointed: production ran almost to the dissolution of the USSR itself.
