Reverse description The reverse depicts the monumental main entrance gate of the Brest Hero-Fortress memorial complex as the central background motif. The Cyrillic inscription 'БРЭСЦКАЯ КРЭПАСЦЬ–ГЕРОЙ' (Brest Hero-Fortress) arcs across the upper portion of the field. In the lower portion, a relief of the principal monument known as 'Courage'—depicting a heroic soldier's head emerging from a massive stone—dominates the composition. The overall design commemorates the Soviet defenders of the Brest Fortress during World War II.
