| Obverse description | The obverse features the State Emblem of the Russian Federation — a double-headed eagle displayed, each head surmounted by a crown and the whole beneath a larger imperial crown, clutching an orb and sceptre, with a central shield depicting St. George slaying the dragon. The circular legend РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ arcs along the upper rim, while БАНК РОССИИ, 3 РУБЛЯ, and 2022 г. are inscribed in the lower field. The fineness mark Ag 925 appears to the lower left, the weight indicator 31,1 to the lower right alongside the Saint Petersburg Mint monogram (СПМД). Two decorative rhombus-shaped ornaments flank the eagle at mid-field. The design is executed in high-relief proof finish against a mirror field. |

| Additional information |
This coin commemorates the first docking of two crewed Soyuz spacecraft, achieved in January 1969 when Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5 linked up in orbit — the first transfer of crew between vehicles in space history. Two cosmonauts from Soyuz 5 crossed through open space and returned to Earth aboard Soyuz 4, a maneuver the Soviets framed as the assembly of an "experimental space station." The mission was as politically driven as it was technically ambitious, timed to preempt American momentum ahead of Apollo 11.
