The Bank of Russia, continuing with the series of "Outstanding Persons of Russia", decided to issue a silver coin on February 14 to commemorate the 150th. Anniversary of the Composer Sergei Rachmaninoff.

Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943) was a pianist and composer who became a recognized symbol of Russian music throughout the world.

Graduated from the Moscow Conservatory as a pianist and composer, he won the Great Gold Medal for his opera in one act "Aleko". Tchaikovsky praised the opera and recommended it for staging at the Bolshoi Theatre.

The young Rachmaninoff quickly became a favorite with the Moscow public, appreciated as a talented pianist, composer and conductor.
He toured Europe, the United States and Canada. Rachmaninoff became director of the Bolshoi Theatre, where he was responsible for the entire Russian opera repertoire for several seasons and headed the Arts Council of the Russian Music Publishing House.

Shortly after the 1917 Russian Revolution, Rachmaninoff, along with his family, left Russia with almost no money. The composer had to support his family and pay off his debts, so he resumed performing as a pianist. He conquered the European public and then went to the United States where he continued with his concerts. Critics and the public appreciated him as one of the greatest composers and conductors of the time. 

The reverse of the coin features a portrait of Sergei Rachmaninoff and a pentagram on a background of wavy lines with light effects. The embossed inscription 'С.В. РАХМАНИНОВ' (SERGEI RACHMANINOFF) top left, and the composer's birth and death years “1873” and “1943” on two lines on the right.

While the obverse features a relief image of the National Coat of Arms of the Russian Federation and a semicircular inscription along the edge: 'РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ' (RUSSIAN FEDERATION) framed with diamonds on both sides, below the coat of arms there is the chemical symbol of the metal and the fineness on the left and the fine metal content and the mintmark on the right, at the bottom center, in three lines, there is an inscription: 'БАНК РОССИИ' (BANK OF RUSSIA) , the denomination of the coin: '2 РУБЛЯ' (2 RUBLES), and the year of issue: '2023 г.'
