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 3 RUBLES and the date 2022 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 coloured image of a scene from the animated film series ‘Happy Merry-Go-Round No. 1’ (particularly, Antoshka, a musical comedy directed by Leonid Nosyrev) and the relief inscription "HAPPY MERRY-GO-ROUND NO. 1" on the upper left.

"Antoshka" is a cartoon about a lazy boy named Antoshka, who did not want to go digging potatoes at first, and then reluctantly agreed to play the harmonica for the guys, but then changed his mind and sang a teaser instead. But he not only did not refuse the invitation to dinner but also took a huge spoon. However, in his bowl (the largest on the table), instead of porridge, he finds a frog, which the guys put there in order to teach him a lesson.

The plot of ‘Antoshka’ is based on a children’s song about a lazy boy. The author of the text is poet Yuri Entin. When he was young, Entin worked as a school teacher of history for a while, and one of his pupils became the prototype of the character Antoshka. The music to the song was written by composer Vladimir Shainsky. The song was first broadcast in the TV show ‘Good Morning’ that Entin and Shainsky applied to a few months later. The song was performed by children’s choir ‘Sputnik’.
