| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate allegorical composition commemorating the 155th anniversary of the Bank of Russia's founding. In the lower left, a perspective view of the Bank of Russia headquarters building is depicted in fine detail. The upper and central fields are filled with interlocking mechanical cogwheels and clock hands, symbolising the regulated machinery of financial oversight. Superimposed across the gears are relief images of historic Russian coins, including a Soviet chervonets of 1923 and a kopek of 1966, alongside a modern rouble coin bearing the current Rouble sign and the inscription РУБЛЬ. The right field carries a radiating list of financial institution categories in small Cyrillic lettering, representing the entities supervised by the Bank of Russia. The primary legend БАНК РОССИИ ОСНОВАН В 1860 ГОДУ arcs boldly along the lower and right periphery. |

| Additional information |
Russia's annual silver 3-rouble program has produced hundreds of issues, and most are unremarkable beyond their subject matter. This particular piece was struck at the Moscow Mint (MMD) under the Bank of Russia's ongoing commemorative framework, which expanded aggressively after 2000 as collector-market revenues became a meaningful line item in the mint's operating budget. Mintages for this series are typically capped at 3,000–7,500 pieces, keeping secondary-market premiums stable without genuinely restricting supply.
