| Additional information |
Part of the ongoing Russian Federation wildlife series, this piece belongs to a program that has drawn occasional criticism for irregular release schedules and inconsistent distribution through Sberbank channels. The mantis shrimp — a marine crustacean capable of striking with the force of a small-caliber bullet — is found in Russian Pacific coastal waters, which provides the zoological justification for its inclusion.
The bimetallic format was adopted for the five-chervonets denomination in the early 2000s as a deterrent to counterfeiting of circulation-quality collector issues.
