| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized mountain landscape with coniferous forest in the foreground and a bird in flight above the peaks, rendered in relief against a smooth field. The bank monogram 'РВ' (Pervouralskbank initials) appears prominently in the upper left of the field in bold raised letters. Below the landscape, along the lower rim, the founding inscription 'с 1990 года' (since 1990) is incused in Cyrillic script. The overall design is executed in an antique brass finish, lending the piece a vintage aesthetic consistent with commemorative fantasy issues. |

| Additional information |
Pervouralskbank is a small regional Russian bank headquartered in Pervouralsk, a mid-sized industrial city in Sverdlovsk Oblast. This token was issued during a period when Russian regional banks were aggressively deploying branded scrip and promotional coinage — partly as advertising, partly as internal loyalty instruments. The denomination of 2.5 billion roubles carries no literal monetary value; it is a novelty figure referencing the bank's claimed asset base or a marketing threshold at the time of issue.
The antique brass finish was a deliberate production choice, common among Russian private mints of this period seeking a premium tactile impression on low-cost zinc or brass blanks.
