Series: 200th Anniversary of Alexander Pushkin
Obverse
Pushkin is sitting at his desk in his study. On the desk are an inkwell with a quill pen and a candelabra with candles.
Behind him, through the window, is a landscape with a church and village buildings, an alley with trees, and a horseman.
Below are the inscription "A.S. Pushkin," a lyre (the emblem of the "200th Anniversary" series), and the inscription "MIKHAYLOVSKOE."
Mikhailovskoye is the Pushkin family estate in the Pskov province, where the poet spent his exile from 1824 to 1826. Many chapters of Eugene Onegin, Boris Godunov, and other significant works were written here.

Comments
A set of five medals, "In Commemoration of the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of A.S. Pushkin. 1799–1999," was issued as part of large-scale Russian state events. The set was produced at the Moscow Mint (MMD), Goznak, in 1999 using cupronickel as a Proof and is supplied in a velvet case in protective capsules.
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin (1799–1837) was the greatest Russian poet, the founder of the modern Russian literary language, whose work remains the foundation of national culture. The medals depict key sites and works associated with the poet's life and work: two Pskov estates (Mikhailovskoye and Trigorskoye), Boldino in Nizhny Novgorod, and his seminal novel, Eugene Onegin. The central medal, partially plated with brass (a portrait), has its own reverse, while the other four medals share a common reverse.
