| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 270th anniversary of Alexander Suvorov's birth, this coin appeared during a period when the Bank of Russia was producing commemorative silver at a considerable pace — the late 1990s and early 2000s saw dozens of historical-figure issues as Russia publicly re-engaged with imperial-era heroes long complicated by Soviet historiography. Suvorov was never fully suppressed under the USSR — Stalin rehabilitated him during World War II, lending his name to the Suvorov Order in 1942 — but the post-Soviet reclamation carried a different nationalist charge.
