60th Anniversary of the First Human Space Flight
Obverse
The image features artistically designed symbols commemorating the 60th anniversary of the first manned space flight (April 12, 1961 – Yuri Gagarin's flight). A key feature of the design is the creative presentation of the number "60":
The number "6" is shaped like planet Earth (the outlines of the continents are recognizable). A rocket trail is depicted around the Earth – a stylized flight path symbolizing the launch of the spacecraft (Vostok-1). The number "0" is represented by the Sun (with the flight date inside), and the orbits of the planets are depicted around the "sun."
Also present are elements in the form of stars, the mint mark, and an inscription.
