| Additional information |
This coin is one of several issues Russia struck in 1995 to mark the 50th anniversary of victory in World War II, with this particular piece commemorating the fall of Berlin. Soviet forces completed the encirclement of the city on April 25, 1945, and the Reichstag was taken on May 2 — nine days of some of the costliest urban combat of the entire war, with Soviet casualties alone estimated at over 80,000 killed.
The copper-nickel composition was chosen for the commemorative 3-rouble denomination throughout the post-Soviet period, distinguishing it from the silver issues in the same victory anniversary series.
