| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene commemorating the 850th anniversary of the founding of Moscow, showing three medieval craftsmen or builders at work in the foreground — one raising a hammer, the others engaged in construction tasks — rendered in finely detailed relief against a polished field. In the background rises a stylised panorama of early Moscow's ecclesiastical and civic architecture, including multi-domed churches and fortified structures evocative of the medieval Kremlin. The curved inscription '850-ЛЕТИЕ ОСНОВАНИЯ МОСКВЫ' (850th Anniversary of the Founding of Moscow) arcs across the upper portion of the field in period-style lettering. |

Part of Russia's ongoing commemorative series honoring architectural heritage, this 1997 issue belongs to a program launched in the early 1990s as the newly reconstituted Bank of Russia moved aggressively into the collector coin market — partly to generate hard currency revenue during the difficult post-Soviet transition years.
