| Additional information |
This coin commemorates the 165th anniversary of Sberbank, the savings institution founded by Nicholas I in 1841 as the State Savings Banks — Russia's first formalized public deposit system. The original St. Petersburg branch opened on March 1, 1842, and recorded its very first depositor that day: a court counselor named Nikolai Antonovich Kristofari, who deposited 10 silver roubles. That transaction was meticulously documented and survives in Russian financial archives.
