| Reverse description | Within the central nickel-plated steel disc, a uniformed bust of Admiral Nikolai Gerasimovich Kuznetsov is depicted in three-quarter view to the left, with his name and life dates inscribed in the field to his right. Below the portrait, a detailed side-view rendering of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov occupies the lower portion of the disc, shown underway with aircraft visible on the flight deck. The outer brass ring bears a Cyrillic legend reading ЗНАМЕНИТЫЕ КОРАБЛИ РОССИЙСКОГО ФЛОТА (Famous Ships of the Russian Fleet) along the upper arc, and АВИАНОСЕЦ "АДМИРАЛ КУЗНЕЦОВ" along the lower arc. |

| Additional information |
The Admiral Kuznetsov has the distinction of being the only aircraft carrier currently operated by the Russian Navy — a single, perpetually troubled vessel whose maintenance history includes a catastrophic floating dry dock accident in 2018 that sank the dock itself and dropped a 70-tonne crane onto the flight deck. The "Arctic Territories" issuing authority is a Marshall Islands-affiliated novelty licensing arrangement, not a recognized Russian administrative region, producing coins with no genuine circulation mandate.
