| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field depicts a dramatic naval battle scene showing sailing warships during the storming of the Corfu fortress in 1799, rendered with fine detail of rigging, sails, and cannon fire. To the upper left, a portrait medallion of Admiral Fyodor Fyodorovich Ushakov is shown in profile, with the semicircular inscription 'Ф.Ф.УШАКОВ' immediately below it. Along the upper rim, on a ribbon banner, the legend '300-ЛЕТИЕ РОССИЙСКОГО ФЛОТА' (The 300th Anniversary of the Russian Fleet) is inscribed. Along the lower rim the inscription 'ШТУРМ КРЕПОСТИ КОРФУ · 1799 г.' (The Storming of the Corfu Fortress, 1799) completes the design. The composition commemorates the tricentenary of the Russian Navy and one of its most celebrated early victories. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This coin commemorates the 1799 assault on the island of Corfu, where a combined Russo-Ottoman fleet under Admiral Fyodor Ushakov drove out the French garrison — one of the stranger military alliances of the Napoleonic period. The victory was strategically significant enough that Suvorov reportedly declared Ushakov a marshal of the sea, and the operation became a cornerstone of Ushakov's eventual canonization by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2001.
The 1996 Russian commemorative silver program leaned heavily on imperial military anniversaries, partly as a deliberate cultural project during a period of acute national identity crisis following Soviet dissolution.
