| Additional information |
Part of Russia's "First Russian Circumnavigation" palladium series, this coin commemorates the 1803–1806 expedition led by Ivan Krusenstern and Yuri Lisyansky — the first Russian vessels to circumnavigate the globe. The Neva, commanded by Lisyansky, separated from Krusenstern's flagship Nadezhda near Hawaii and completed much of its Pacific leg independently, including a significant intervention in Alaskan waters where Lisyansky's crew assisted the Russian-American Company against Tlingit forces at Sitka in 1804.
The palladium series was struck in limited quantities during the early post-Soviet period, when the Russian mint briefly used domestic palladium reserves for numismatic issues before the program was curtailed.
