| Reverse description | The reverse bears a relief depiction of the Soviet War Memorial monument in Vienna, commemorating the liberation of the Austrian capital by Soviet forces. Along the upper circumference, the inscription «ВЕНА» (VIENNA) is framed by two stars forming a partial legend. Horizontally across the lower field, the date «13 АПРЕЛЯ 1945 г.» (13 APRIL 1945) records the day of the city's liberation. The design is executed in fine sculptural relief against a smooth field. |

| Additional information |
This issue belongs to a series commemorating major battles of the First World War, struck by the Austrian Mint in Vienna under a production contract from the Bank of Russia — an arrangement that has drawn occasional comment given the historical irony of Austrian facilities producing Russian war commemoration coins. The specific battle honored by this type determined its mintage allocation within the broader series, which ran across several years and covered engagements from the Eastern Front through to Gallipoli-adjacent operations involving Russian forces.
