In the centre the relief image of the National Coat of Arms of the Russian Federation, above the semicircular inscription along the rim THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION framed on both sides by ornamental elements of doubled rhombuses, in the lower part of the disc, at the edge the horizontal inscription BANK OF RUSSIA, 25 RUBLES and the date 2019 under it, over it to the right the mint trade mark.

The two main elements of Russian state symbols (the two-headed eagle and the mounted figure slaying the dragon) predate Peter the Great. Today, however, the official description does not refer to the rider on the central shield as representing Saint George, mainly in order to maintain the secular character of the modern Russian state. The imperial crowns on each head stand for the unity and sovereignty of Russia, both as a whole and in its constituent republics and regions. The orb and scepter grasped in the eagle's talons are traditional heraldic symbols of sovereign power and authority. They have been retained in the modern Russian arms despite the fact that the Russian Federation is not a monarchy.

Depicts a relief image of the Broken Ring Monument (part of the Green Belt of Glory) with a semicircular inscription: ‘75th Anniversary of the Full Liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi Blockade'.

On November 22, 1941 a line of vehicles advanced on the frozen Ladoga Lake. It enabled the besieged city to be linked to the rest of the continent. To commemorate that event, the monument “Broken Ring” was erected near the lake in 1966. It is made of two disjointed arches symbolizing the break of the blockade. The structure, made of reinforced concrete is 7 meters-high and weighs 32 tons. The monument is completed with tracks for trucks’ wheels in the concrete as well as an air gun.

The Green Belt of Glory is a war memorial surrounding Saint Petersburg, Russia, commemorating the Siege of Leningrad of the Second World War. The belt consists of multiple small memorials marking the historical front line.
