| Reverse description | The reverse features a portrait of cosmonaut Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin rendered in relief, depicted holding a dove in his hands in a symbolic allusion to peace and the triumph of human spaceflight. The figural composition occupies the central field, with fine artistic detail conveying Gagarin's likeness and the gentle pose of the bird. Arcing along the upper and lateral rim, the commemorative legend «40-ЛЕТИЕ ПЕРВОГО ПОЛЁТА ЧЕЛОВЕКА В КОСМОС» (40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT) frames the design. The overall composition commemorates the fortieth anniversary of Gagarin's historic orbital mission of 12 April 1961. |
