| Obverse description | Central field features a polar bear superimposed upon a map of the Spitsbergen archipelago set within a globe, indicating the islands' precise geographical position at 78° latitude. The design replicates the corporate logo of Trust Arktikugol, the Russian state coal-mining company operating on the archipelago. The Cyrillic legend ШПИЦБЕРГЕН (Spitsbergen) arcs along the upper periphery. The overall composition is rendered in a clean, utilitarian style consistent with Soviet-era token coinage. |
