| Reverse description | The reverse displays a finely engraved half-length portrait of Generalissimo Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov in an oval frame, depicted in his ceremonial dress uniform adorned with military decorations. Below the portrait, trophies of war — including cannons, sabres, and standards — are arranged as a decorative grouping in the lower field. An arched legend along the upper rim reads 'ГЕНЕРАЛИССИМУС А.В. СУВОРОВ' (Generalissimo A.V. Suvorov). The dates '1730' and '1800', denoting his years of birth and death, are displayed on a ribbon in the lower portion of the design. |

| Additional information |
This coin is one of a clutch of issues released by the Bank of Russia in 2000 under a broader commemorative program honoring commanders of Russian military history. Suvorov — who died in 1800 exactly two centuries before this issue — never lost a battle in a career spanning four decades and roughly sixty engagements, a record that remains unmatched in Russian military annals. His Italian and Swiss campaigns of 1799, conducted against French Revolutionary forces, produced victories at the Trebbia and Novi before the disastrous crossing of the St. Gotthard Pass nearly destroyed his army through attrition and terrain rather than enemy action.
