| Obverse description | At the center of the mirror-polished field stands the state emblem of the Russian Federation: a double-headed eagle displayed, each head surmounted by an imperial crown, with a larger crown above connected by a ribbon, holding a scepter in the right talon and an orb in the left. The shield on the eagle's breast depicts St. George on horseback slaying a dragon. The circular legend РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ arcs along the upper rim in Cyrillic. Below the eagle, the issuing authority БАНК РОССИИ and denomination 3 РУБЛЯ are inscribed in two lines, with the date 2018 г. at the base. The fineness mark Ag 925 appears to the lower left of the eagle, the weight indicator 31,1 to the lower right alongside the Saint Petersburg Mint monogram (СПМД). |

| Additional information |
Saransk entered the international spotlight when it was selected as one of eleven Russian host cities for the 2018 FIFA World Cup — a decision that drove substantial federal investment into a city of roughly 300,000 that had previously held little infrastructure for events of that scale. This coin belongs to the long-running Bank of Russia series documenting World Cup host venues, issued in the lead-up to the tournament.
Mordovia Arena, built specifically for the tournament, was demolished to its skeleton and rebuilt as a multi-use stadium after the Cup concluded — an unusual fate for a venue less than two years old.
