Reverse description The reverse presents a high-relief figural composition depicting a Soviet infantryman seated on ammunition crates, rendered in a sculptural, naturalistic style. The soldier, wearing a forage cap adorned with a red star, holds a rifle upright before him and appears to be loading or inspecting it. He is dressed in a standard Red Army field uniform with a belt and greatcoat draped over his shoulders. To the right of the figure, the dates 1941 and 1945 are inscribed in bold numerals, separated by a small laurel sprig, commemorating the years of the Great Patriotic War. The composition occupies nearly the full field, with a plain polished border.

Additional information

This coin belongs to Russia's long-running commemorative series marking the 55th anniversary of victory in the Second World War, issued in 2000 for the final year of that anniversary campaign. The broader series ran across multiple denominations and subjects throughout the late 1990s, drawing on archival imagery and official Soviet-era heroic typology that remained politically uncontroversial in the early Putin years.

Mintage figures for individual subjects within this series varied considerably, and some issues were struck in quantities low enough to create meaningful secondary-market premiums within the type.
