| Additional information |
Part of the Bank of Russia's long-running series documenting Orthodox architectural monuments, this issue depicts the Church of the Savior on the Nereditza hill near Novgorod — a 12th-century structure that survived roughly eight centuries before being nearly obliterated during the German occupation of 1941–43. Soviet restorers spent decades reassembling it from rubble and photographic records after the war.
The series was among the first systematic numismatic documentation of Russian ecclesiastical heritage following the Soviet collapse, when state sponsorship of religious imagery became politically viable again for the first time since 1917.
