A ribbon bearing the inscription 'САНКТ-ПЕТЕРБУРГ' (Saint Petersburg) arcs across the central field, above a polychrome enamelled rendering of one of the earliest known versions of the coat of arms of Saint Petersburg. Along the lower circumference, the incuse legend reads 'ПЕТР I • ПРЕОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬ' (Peter I • The Reformer), encapsulating the commemorative theme of the coin. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to the long-running Bank of Russia commemorative program marking the 350th anniversary of Peter I's birth, issued in 2022 — exactly 350 years after 1672. Peter's monetary reforms of the early 1700s are directly relevant here: he abolished the old wire-cut kopek system and introduced machine-struck round coinage on Western European standards, effectively creating the framework within which modern Russian numismatics begins.
