| Reverse description | A dynamic commemorative composition depicting the Soviet defense of Moscow in 1941. In the foreground, angular antitank obstacles (Czech hedgehogs) are prominently displayed, while a column of marching soldiers advances across the middle ground. A barrage balloon floats in the upper field, and the crenellated walls and towers of the Moscow Kremlin, including the distinctive Spasskaya Tower, are visible in the background. The encircling legend records the fiftieth anniversary of the defeat of German fascist forces near Moscow, with the dual dates '1941' and '1991' flanking the lower portion of the design. |
