Obverse description The obverse presents the Russian Federation's state emblem — a double-headed eagle with wings displayed, crowned with three imperial crowns, holding an orb and sceptre in its talons, and bearing a central shield depicting St. George slaying the dragon. The legend РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ arcs along the upper periphery in Cyrillic, flanked by two decorative rhombus ornaments at either side. Below the eagle, the issuing authority БАНК РОССИИ and denomination 3 РУБЛЯ are inscribed in two lines, with the date 2022 г. at the lower rim. To the lower left of the eagle appears the fineness indicator Ag 925, and to the lower right the weight 31,1 along with the Saint Petersburg Mint (СПМД) monogram. The coin is struck in proof quality with a deeply mirrored field contrasting against frosted relief devices.

Reverse description The reverse depicts a dynamic scene from the Russian fairy tale 'The Little Humpbacked Horse' by Pyotr Yershov, rendered in an ornate folk-art style. The central composition shows the young hero Ivan astride a galloping horse, his cloak billowing behind him, while the magical little humpbacked horse with its distinctive decorative patterned body and flowing mane leaps alongside in mid-air. Below the riders, a stylised panorama of an old Russian town with onion-domed church towers occupies the lower field, framed by a starry night sky with a crescent moon in the upper right. Decorative snowflake and star motifs are scattered throughout the mirror-polished field, rendered in laser-frosted relief. The curved legend ЛЕГЕНДЫ И СКАЗКИ НАРОДОВ РОССИИ inscribed in Cyrillic script runs along the lower periphery.
