Below the skyline, the five interlocking Olympic rings appear at lower left, followed by the denomination 'РУБЛЬ' in bold Cyrillic lettering across the centre, and the date '1980' in the lower exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1980 Moscow Olympics were the first Summer Games held in a socialist country, and the Soviet government used the commemorative coin program aggressively — issuing dozens of roubles across multiple series to generate hard currency from Western collectors while simultaneously projecting cultural legitimacy. Tallinn, then the capital of Soviet-occupied Estonia, hosted the sailing events, one of the few competitions where foreign yachts and crews moved relatively freely through Soviet-controlled waters.
The boycott led by the United States sharply reduced Western collector demand that year, leaving large quantities of the commemorative series unsold through Vneshtorgbank's export channels.
