| Additional information |
China and the Soviet Union established diplomatic relations on October 2, 1949 — the day after the People's Republic was formally proclaimed — making Moscow the first government to recognize the new state. The relationship fractured badly during the Sino-Soviet split of the late 1950s and 1960s, meaning the "70 years" this coin marks encompasses decades of genuine hostility, not continuous friendship.
The KM# 2379.1 designation indicates this is one of two variants struck for the issue.
