Obverse description At centre, a relief depiction of the State Coat of Arms of the Russian Federation: a double-headed eagle displayed with wings elevated, each head surmounted by a small crown and both crowns joined by a larger imperial crown connected by a ribbon; the dexter talon grasping a sceptre and the sinister talon an orb. Upon the eagle's breast, an escutcheon depicts an armoured knight on horseback trampling and slaying a dragon. The two-line legend 'РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ' (Russian Federation) arcs above the arms, while the denomination '50 РУБЛЕЙ' and date '2013 г.' appear below in two lines. Along the lower rim are the mint mark at left, the precious metal designation and fineness at centre, and the fine gold content '7,78' at right.

Additional information

Part of Russia's long-running "Signs of the Zodiac" series, this piece corresponds to the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese lunisolar calendar — though Russian official documentation uses "Hare," a distinction that reflects genuine zoological debate about which animal the fourth sign depicts. The series ran through the full twelve-year cycle with consistent specifications, making individual issues relatively straightforward to complete as a set.
