| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed commemorative composition honouring the military campaigns of Field Marshal Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov. To the left, Suvorov is depicted mounted on horseback accompanied by two infantry soldiers standing at the edge of a steep precipice, evoking the harrowing Alpine crossing of 1799. To the right, a dramatic scene of close combat unfolds on a stone bridge, beneath which a turbulent mountain stream rushes through the arch. Snow-capped Alpine peaks rise in the background, conveying the severity of the terrain. Along the upper rim, the Cyrillic inscription А.В. СУВОРОВ (A.V. Suvorov) identifies the subject. |

| 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.
