Obverse description Within a raised border, the large numeral '10' occupies the central field, with the Cyrillic legend 'КОПЕЕК' (kopeks) inscribed below, separated by small decorative scroll ornaments on either side. The issuer's name 'АРКТИКУГОЛЬ' curves along the upper periphery, while 'ШПИЦБЕРГЕН' (Spitsbergen) curves along the lower periphery, both following the coin's circumference. The design is plain and typographic in character, with no pictorial motifs, presented on a smooth field within a reeded rim.
