on the mirror field of the disk is a relief image of the State Emblem of the Russian Federation, above it along the edge is the inscription in a semicircle: "RUSSIAN FEDERATION", framed on both sides by double diamonds, below the coat of arms: on the left-the designation of the precious metal and the alloy sample, on the right-the content of chemically pure metal and the trademark of the mint, at the bottom in the center in three lines-the inscription: "BANK OF RUSSIA", the coin denomination: "100 RUBLES", year of issue: "2021".
on the mirror field of the disk — a relief image of the monument "Ice Battle" against the background of the panorama of medieval Pskov; at the bottom along the edge-the inscription: "ALEXANDER NEVSKY".
Alexander Nevsky (1221-1263) - a commander who defeated the knights-crusaders in April 1242 on the ice of Lake Peipsi, and a subtle diplomat who skillfully defended the interests of the Fatherland before the Golden Horde Khan. In 1240, the Swedes landed at the mouth of the Neva to march on Novgorod, and the knights of the Livonian Order laid siege to Pskov. Without waiting for the activity of the Swedes, Alexander with a small squad of Novgorodians and Ladoga residents advanced to the Neva and, catching the Swedes by surprise, inflicted a crushing defeat on them. And on April 5, 1242, on Lake Peipsi, Novgorodians and Suzdalians utterly defeated the army of the Livonian Order, thereby destroying the possibility of further advancement of their western neighbors to the East. The famous feat of the Grand Duke was immortalized in Pskov as a monument in 1993. The thirty-meter sculptural composition of bronze and granite weighing more than one and a half hundred tons personifies the unity and valor of the people in the struggle against enemies, the unity and indivisibility of the Russian land, which defended its independence from the Catholic West. One cannot deny Alexander Nevsky's foresight, who has established relations with the Golden Horde: this step allowed his descendants to gather strength and create a powerful Russian centralized state
