Reverse description A stylised winged human figure in high relief soars across the field, symbolising mankind's first journey into space. The background features a polychrome coloured design depicting a star-filled sky rendered in vivid blue and violet tones. Along the upper inner rim, an arc inscription reads '12 АПРЕЛЯ 1961 г.' designating the historic date of Yuri Gagarin's flight. On the outer ring, the commemorative legend '60 ЛЕТ ПЕРВОГО ПОЛЕТА ЧЕЛОВЕКА В КОСМОС' encircles the central design, marking the 60th anniversary of the first human spaceflight.

Additional information

Russia has issued commemorative 25-rouble copper-nickel pieces in quantity since the denomination was introduced for collectibles in 2011, and the colored variant of this Gagarin flight anniversary piece is distinguished from its uncolored counterpart solely by the applied color process — a distinction that matters to type collectors but rarely affects secondary market premiums significantly. The 60th anniversary of the April 12, 1961 Vostok 1 mission prompted a cluster of Russian state issues across multiple formats that year.
