On March 4, 2025, the Bank of Russia will release a commemorative coin in honor of Rear Admiral Alexander Mozhaisky. This coin marks the bicentenary of Mozhaisky’s birth and is part of the Outstanding Personalities of Russia series.

The reverse features a portrait of Alexander Mozhaisky accompanied by technical drawings of aircraft and clouds that have been laser treated for a matte finish. It includes relief inscriptions: “А.Ф. МОЖАЙСКИЙ” (ALEXANDER MOZHAISKY) at the top around the circumference, “1825” and “1890” on the right side in two lines, and part of a quote from Mozhaisky in three lines: “Я желал быть полезным своему Отечеству…” (I wished to be of service to my Homeland…).
