| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a bold raised relief depiction of Saint George the Victorious mounted on a rearing horse, rendered in a dynamic and heroic artistic style. The saint is shown in full armour, his lance thrust downward to slay a serpentine dragon writhing beneath the horse's hooves. The composition fills the entire coin field with strong sculptural relief, emphasising the dramatic confrontation between the mounted warrior and the beast. The design draws directly from the traditional iconographic representation of Saint George as patron and protector, long associated with Russian state imagery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Saint George bullion ruble series was introduced by the Bank of Russia in 2009 as a direct competitor to established Western bullion programs — the Britannia, the Maple Leaf, the Eagle. Russia's timing was deliberate: global silver demand was spiking post-2008 and the Kremlin wanted a domestically issued hard-asset product with recognizable iconography tied to Russian Orthodox tradition. The 3-rouble denomination is purely nominal; no one has ever spent one.
These trade at a fixed premium over spot through Sberbank and other authorized Russian dealers, a distribution model that kept them largely out of Western secondary markets until sanctions after 2022 sharply disrupted that channel.
