Interesting fact
The Lion on the Embankment coin features a unique design that showcases a lion sitting on the edge of a riverbank, looking out towards the water. The design was inspired by a famous statue of a lion that sits atop a pedestal in the center of Moscow's Lubyanka Square. The statue was erected in 1866 and has become a symbol of the city, making it a fitting subject for the coin's design.
