| Obverse description | The obverse features the Russian State Emblem — a double-headed eagle displayed, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The eagle is uncrowned in the standard Bank of Russia commemorative style, with wings elevated and spread. The circular legend ДВАДЦАТЬ ПЯТЬ РУБЛЕЙ arcs above, while БАНК РОССИИ is inscribed below the eagle. Flanking the lower field are the fineness designation Ag 900, the date 2004 г., and the Saint Petersburg Mint mark СПМД with the weight notation 155,5, all arranged symmetrically. |

| Additional information |
Part of Russia's ongoing "Monuments of Architecture" series, this issue commemorates the Saviour's Transfiguration Monastery in Yaroslavl, one of the oldest surviving monastic complexes in the country, founded in the late twelfth century. The monastery served as the probable site where the *Tale of Igor's Campaign* manuscript was discovered in the 1790s — though the authenticity of that text remains one of Russian literary history's most contested debates.
