| Reverse description | Depicts a scene commemorating the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, with a figure in protective military gear and helmet prominently positioned in the foreground. Behind the figure, an industrial nuclear facility with cooling towers and a billowing explosion cloud fills the mid-ground. A triangular radiation warning sign featuring the international radioactivity symbol occupies the lower left field. The curved legend АВАРИЯ НА АЭС ФУКУСИМА (Accident at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant) arcs along the upper periphery, with ИЮЛЬ (July) and the date 2011 inscribed at the bottom. |

| Additional information |
Spitsbergen's numismatic output has long operated in a legal grey zone — the archipelago uses the Norwegian krone as its official currency, meaning these rouble-denominated pieces issued under the Arktikugol coal-mining trust's quasi-commercial authority have no genuine monetary standing. They are fantasy pieces, full stop, produced for the collector market rather than any circulating need.
Issued the same year as the Fukushima Daiichi reactor disaster, within months of the March 2011 meltdown.
