| Additional information |
Pereslavl-Zalessky, founded by Yuri Dolgoruky in 1152 — the same prince credited with founding Moscow — sits on Lake Pleshcheyevo in Yaroslavl Oblast and was a significant power center of medieval Rus before its absorption into the Muscovite state. This coin is part of the Bank of Russia's long-running "Ancient Cities of Russia" series, which began in 2002 and consistently employed the silver-in-gold bimetallic format as a deliberate premium collectible strategy rather than any circulating denomination. The 5-rouble face value is purely nominal; no bimetallic silver-gold piece of this weight ever entered commerce.
