| Obverse description | At centre, the State Emblem of the Russian Federation — a double-headed eagle displayed, each head surmounted by a crown and the ensemble topped by a larger imperial crown, holding an orb and sceptre in its talons, with a shield on the breast depicting Saint George on horseback slaying a dragon. The legend РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ arcs along the upper periphery in Cyrillic. In the lower field, the denomination 3 РУБЛЯ and the date 2014 г. are inscribed, flanked by the fineness mark Ag 925 to the lower left and the weight indication 31,1 to the lower right, with the Saint Petersburg Mint monogram (СПМД) below the eagle's tail. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Russia's sprawling commemorative program tied to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics — the most expensive Olympic Games in history at an estimated $51 billion, much of it absorbed by state-linked construction contracts that became a significant corruption investigation target. The Central Bank released dozens of denominations and metals across the Sochi series, with the 3-rouble silver pieces forming the backbone of a program that ultimately ran to well over a hundred individual coin types.
