| Additional information |
This coin belongs to Russia's long-running commemorative series marking the 55th anniversary of victory in the Second World War, issued in 2000 for the final year of that anniversary campaign. The broader series ran across multiple denominations and subjects throughout the late 1990s, drawing on archival imagery and official Soviet-era heroic typology that remained politically uncontroversial in the early Putin years.
Mintage figures for individual subjects within this series varied considerably, and some issues were struck in quantities low enough to create meaningful secondary-market premiums within the type.
