| Reverse description | A powerful nuclear-powered icebreaker vessel is depicted in dramatic three-quarter bow view, plowing through broken Arctic pack ice and turbulent seas, rendered in high relief with an antiqued finish that accentuates the sculptural depth of the waves and ice floes. Massive twin funnels and a multi-deck superstructure dominate the upper portion of the design, with mountains or icebergs faintly visible in the background field. The inscription 1 OZ AG 999 is engraved in the upper right field along the inner border, confirming the coin's silver content and purity. |
