| Obverse description | The State Coat of Arms of the Soviet Union rendered in high relief at center, depicting a hammer and sickle superimposed on a globe, encircled by wheat sheaves bound with a ribbon and surmounted by a five-pointed star. The full Cyrillic legend СОЮЗ СОВЕТСКИХ СОЦИАЛИСТИЧЕСКИХ РЕСПУБЛИК runs along the periphery, with a small star appearing at the base of the design. The heraldic composition fills the field in a bold, socialist-realist engraving style characteristic of mid-20th century Soviet coinage. |
