A map of Antarctica occupies a portion of the field, referencing the issuing territory. The denomination and date appear as legends within the design. |

| Reverse description | The bimetallic reverse features portrait busts of three female aviators in flight gear, identified by individual inscriptions with their names and life dates in the field: Раскова М.М. (1912–1943), Гризодубова В.С. (1909–1993), and Осипенко П.Д. (1907–1939). Below the portraits, a three-quarter view of the Tupolev ANT-37 aircraft known as 'Rodina' is rendered in relief within the nickel-plated steel centre. The circular legend along the upper rim reads ИСТОРИЯ РОССИЙСКОЙ АВИАЦИИ, while the lower arc bears the inscription САМОЛЕТ АНТ-37 «РОДИНА», all in Cyrillic script. The brass outer ring frames the composition and carries the bimetallic contrast characteristic of the series. |
