| Obverse description | The State Coat of Arms of the USSR occupies the upper field, featuring a hammer and sickle superimposed on a globe, framed by wheat sheaves bound with a ribbon and surmounted by a five-pointed star. The country abbreviation 'СССР' appears in Cyrillic to the left and right of the central emblem. A horizontal line divides the field, below which the denomination '10' and the legend 'РУБЛЕЙ' are inscribed in bold relief within the lower segment. The design is enclosed by a raised rim. |

Issued as part of the USSR's official Olympic program coinage for the Moscow 1980 Games, this piece belongs to a series that the Soviet government used as a hard currency earner rather than a domestic circulation instrument. Foreign collectors and tourists were the intended buyers — Soviet citizens had little practical access to such issues. Judo was included in the series despite the sport's Japanese origins, a fact the Soviet sports apparatus quietly overlooked given the USSR's strong competitive record in the discipline since its Olympic introduction at Tokyo 1964.
