| Obverse description | Central device depicts a polar bear standing on a stylized globe, positioned over a map outline of the Svalbard (Spitsbergen) archipelago with the latitude marker 78° indicated. The design forms part of the corporate logo of Trust Arktikugol, the Soviet and later Russian state coal mining enterprise operating on the archipelago. The Cyrillic legend ШПИЦБЕРГЕН (Spitsbergen) arcs along the upper periphery, while АРКТИКУГОЛЬ (Arctic Coal) appears along the lower periphery. The geographic and corporate symbolism underscores the token's function as a local emergency currency issued for use in the Russian mining settlements on Spitsbergen. |
