| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylised commemorative composition within the nickel-plated steel centre, evoking the numeral '75' formed by geometric angular elements reminiscent of monumental Soviet victory architecture. An olive branch rendered in fine relief overlays the left portion of the design, symbolising peace and victory. The years '1941' and '1945' are inscribed in the lower portion of the field, denoting the duration of the Great Patriotic War. Diagonal rays emanate across the field in the manner of a victory star, lending a dynamic, monumental quality to the overall composition. The brass-plated steel ring frames the design with diagonal line motifs continuing the architectural theme. |

| Additional information |
Issued for the 75th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany, this coin arrived during a year when the Kremlin had invested enormous political capital in reshaping how that victory was commemorated — the 2020 Victory Day parade was ultimately delayed to June due to COVID-19, the first postponement since the parade's postwar institution. The bimetallic format had been Russia's workhorse commemorative vehicle since the 1990s, keeping face-value circulation coins within reach of ordinary collectors rather than the bullion market.
Over 10 million examples were struck, consistent with the high-mintage policy Moscow applies to anniversary issues it wants physically present in daily circulation.
