5 Pyadey Hieromonk Hermogen of Albazin

Hermogen of Albazin was a monk at the Albazin fortress on the Amur River, a Russian outpost seized by Qing forces in 1685 during the first Sino-Russian border conflict. He survived the siege and later established what became the Russian Orthodox mission in Beijing — the direct institutional predecessor of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission that operated in China for over two centuries.

The coin belongs to a Moscow Mint series honoring figures of the Russian Far East frontier.
