| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed engraved view of the main manor house of the Spasskoye-Lutovinovo estate, the ancestral home and literary retreat of the writer Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev, depicted in a three-quarter perspective with tall trees silhouetted against the mirror field above. In the lower portion of the design, a foreground vignette depicts personal objects associated with Turgenev — including a hunting rifle, manuscript pages bearing Cyrillic script, and other period items — arranged in a still-life composition. A polished cartouche in the lower centre carries the inscriptions ДОМ-МУЗЕЙ И.С. ТУРГЕНЕВА and СПАССКОЕ-ЛУТОВИНОВО in raised Cyrillic lettering. |

| Additional information |
Ivan Turgenev spent much of his adult life in self-imposed exile across Western Europe, yet the Spasskoye-Lutovinovo estate in Oryol Oblast — the property commemorated here — remained his emotional anchor and the setting that shaped his major prose. He wrote substantial portions of Fathers and Sons during stays there, though the estate passed through neglect and partial fire before being restored as a museum in the Soviet period.
The Bank of Russia's regional museum series, of which this is one installment, began generating these 3-rouble silver issues in earnest through the 2000s and 2010s. Mintages are typically low, directed almost entirely at collector channels rather than circulation.
