| Reverse description | A detailed panoramic view of the palace and park ensemble of Tsarskoye Selo is depicted across the field. To the left stands Cameron's Gallery, at centre the Catherine Palace with its Baroque façade, and to the right the palace church. In the lower foreground, beside a body of water and a bench, three figures dressed in 18th-century costume — one man and two women — are rendered against a backdrop of trees, evoking the imperial era. Along the upper rim, a three-line inscription reads г. ПУШКИН (ЦАРСКОЕ СЕЛО) XVIII в., identifying the subject as the town of Pushkin (Tsarskoye Selo) of the 18th century. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a commemorative series marking the 275th anniversary of Tsarskoye Selo — the imperial estate south of St. Petersburg that served as the primary summer residence of the Romanovs from Peter the Great through Nicholas II. The anniversary date traces back to 1710, when Peter presented the estate to his wife Catherine before it was formally developed into the complex of palaces and parks that defined Russian imperial leisure for two centuries.
By 2000, the Bank of Russia's commemorative silver program had become one of the more prolific in Europe, issuing dozens of architectural and cultural subjects annually. Collector saturation from this period is well documented.
