| Obverse description | At center, the Russian State emblem — a double-headed eagle with wings displayed, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The Cyrillic legend ТРИ РУБЛЯ arcs across the upper field, while БАНК РОССИИ is inscribed below the eagle. The date 2010 Г. appears at the bottom, flanked by the fineness mark Ag 925 to the lower left and the weight indication 31,1 to the lower right. The mint mark of the Saint Petersburg Mint (СПМД) is positioned to the right of the eagle. The design is framed by a double beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of Chekhov's birth, this belongs to a long-running Bank of Russia commemorative program that has produced dozens of literary and cultural pieces — making individual examples easy to overlook. Chekhov died in 1904 at a German spa in Badenweiler, having concealed the severity of his tuberculosis from most of his colleagues for years. His final words, reportedly spoken to his physician, were a request for champagne.
