| Additional information |
The ANT-25 completed its most celebrated flight in June–July 1937, when Valery Chkalov, Georgy Baidukov, and Alexander Belyakov flew nonstop from Moscow over the North Pole to Vancouver, Washington — covering roughly 8,500 miles in 63 hours. Stalin personally approved the route, partly as a propaganda counter to Western aviation achievements. A second crew under Mikhail Gromov repeated the feat weeks later, landing in California with fuel still remaining.
This coin belongs to Russia's long-running series commemorating historical aircraft. The 1-rouble denomination in this series is nominally face value but issued strictly for collectors.
