| Reverse description | Central device features a stylised double-headed eagle, the traditional heraldic emblem of Russia, rendered in relief in the field. The Cyrillic legend РУССКАЯ БАНКА arcs along the upper portion of the reverse, incorporating a wordplay on the Russian term for both a jar or vessel and a goal scored in football. The denomination РУБЛЬ is inscribed in the lower field. The overall design reflects the humorous and unofficial nature of this fantasy issue. |

| Additional information |
This ruble was issued as part of Russia's ongoing commemorative footballer series, honoring Aleksandr Anyukov at the height of his career with Zenit Saint Petersburg, the club that would win the UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup just one year later in 2008. The Bank of Russia has produced dozens of such sports personality issues, most in modest quantities destined for collector sets rather than circulation.
Anyukov was an active player at the time of issue — an unusual choice, given most commemorative coins honor retired figures or historical achievements already fully measured.
